The slight amount of mucus secreted contains but littlepus, tends to dry up quickly, and may be seen clinging to theinner surface of the bowel in the form of ball-like masses, largescales, or long irregular strips. The skin and mucous membrane of the anal region areparchment-like and fissured, resembling the condition found inpruritus from other causes. Atrophic proctitis seldom terminates in stricture. Proctitis, acute or chronic, is not limited to the rectum,but may extend to the perirectal tissues, resulting in abscess(periproctitis) and ULCERATING PROCTITIS PROLIFERATING PROCTITIS(Polyposis)
