Popis:	Rectal prolapse is believed to develop secondary to anatomical defects. Rectosigmoid tumors are rare causes of this condition. This must be kept in mind in patients with prolapse; colonoscopic examination is recommended and biopsy should be performed when necessary. In this case report, we present an elderly patient with rectal prolapse. The mass that precipitated the prolapse was biopsied and identified as adenocarcinoma. The cancer was treated and patient was discharged.
