Abstract
Rectal biopsy was done in 39 follow-up cases of squamous cell carcinoma of cervix treated with radiotherapy who clinically presented as cases of radiation proctitis. On histological examination, definite evidence of radiation injury was found in 23 cases. In rectal mucosa, radiation ulcers, broken epithelial lining, glandular atrophy, inflammatory cell infiltration, and edema of stroma were seen. Muscularis mucosa was either intact or partially broken. In submucosa, blood vessels showed endarteritis, plasma cell infiltration, fibrinoid necrosis, and hyalinization of vessel wall. In a few cases, hyalinization, edema, and vacuolation of muscle fibres were seen in muscle layer. In one case, squamous cell carcinoma of rectum was diagnosed. During follow-up examinations no complication due to rectal biopsy was observed.
