A rectal “kissing ulcer” caused by an ingested jujube pit in an adult: a case report and literature review

The spectrum of rectal foreign bodies includes food or nonfood objects that are swallowed and various objects that are inserted via the anal canal. Foreign bodies in the rectum are usually removable transanally, including manual disimpaction and endoscopic removal, although sometimes operative intervention is required. Here, we report a case of an ingested jujube pit lodging in the rectum which presented as non-specific lower abdominal pain and generalized body weakness in a 66-year-old woman. The patient underwent colonoscopy to remove the foreign body by forceps and an irregular shaped “kissing ulcer” was seen in the rectum.
