A 23 years male Egyptian patient from rural area( Kafr Sakr) in Sharkia Governorate presented with bleeding per rectum for 3 months. Digital rectal examination revealed firm rectal masses. Colonoscopy showed multiple rectal and sigmoid polypoidal masses . Pathological examination of biopsies from these masses found bilharzial ova within chronic inflammatory cells.
