Inflammatory cloacogenic polyps: a rare cause of rectal bleeding

Inflammatory cloacogenic polyps are infrequent lesions that usually arise in the anorectal zone. The most common clinical presentation is rectal bleeding. Two cases of rectal bleeding related to cloacogenic polyps with different endoscopic appearance are reported. Endoscopists should be familiar with this entity, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis with other polypoid lesions observed in colonoscopy.
