ABSTRACT
Rectal polyp and hemorrhoids are common causes of bleeding per rectum in pediatric age group. However, there are some other causes which should be considered in differential diagnosis. We have acquainted a case of rectal bleeding due to solitary rectal ulcer in a child of 10 year. Colonoscopic examination was required for diagnosis as proctoscopic examination and digital rectal examination missed the diagnosis, probably due to poor co-operation by the patient and rare nature of the disease. Although well recognized in the adult population, the pediatric experience with this condition is limited.
