Abstract
The authors report the case of a 74-year-old woman presenting a rectal stenosis that arose after the prolonged use of suppositories containing an association of paracetamol and acetylsalicylic acid (Perdolan). On the basis of a review of the literature, the clinical, histological, and radiological features are discussed.
