| Abstract |
Lymphoid follicular proctitis (LFP) is an uncommon inflammatory disease that is characterized by rectal bleeding, congested and granular mucosa without ulceration and abnormal and coalescing hyperplastic lymphoid follicles without acute inflammatory changes. The lesions are usually confined to the rectal mucosa. LFP therapy is not well defined. Herein, we present a case of LFP that was resolved with a rapid administration of mesalazine enemas. A 35-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to intermittent rectal bleeding associated with stools. Total colonoscopy revealed nodular mucosa with top pinpoint-like ulcers from the rectum to the border between the sigmoid flexure and the rectum. The nodules congested together on the lower rectal segment and occupied 2/3 of the rectal lumina. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed in order to obtain more specimens for histologic examination, which revealed marked lymphoid follicular hyperplasia with prominent germinal centers and a conserved mantle zone. Treatment was started with mesalazine enemas of 4 g q.d. and the patient was asymptomatic after three days. All the lesions disappeared two months later. Mesalazine enemas could be a promising and effective therapeutic option for LFP therapy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas
#522
of 891 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#343,505
of 449,583 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas
#27
of 57 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 891 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,583 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 57 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
