title: An unusual case of rectal prolapse.
abstract: We report the case of a 73-year-old female who presented with rectal prolapse due to a sigmoid lipoma. This is a rare benign tumor that can result in mechanical complications; it should be resected for this reason. Transanal resection is a feasible approach.
