A woman in her 50s was hospitalized for a painful anal mass. She had a history of hypertension and depression and was receiving omeprazole and paroxetine. The mass had appeared 2 days before presentation and was associated with vomiting. Additionally, the patient had not passed stools or had intestinal gas for 2 days. On physical examination, the mass was exteriorized through the anal canal. It was covered by hypoxemic rectal mucosa, but no digestive lumen could be identified inside the mass.
