A curative approach was declined. Therefore, a palliative short-course radiotherapy followed. Two weeks after termination of radiotherapy, a symptomatic rectal prolapse has been observed. Endoscopy confirmed a tumor completely included in the prolapsing rectum. A rectal prolapse resection by Altemeier\u2019s technique was performed. Histological examination downgraded the tumor staging to ypT1 M0.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>This case discusses whether the prolapse was preexisting and led to overstaging the tumor or whether the prolapse is a new-onset complication of the radiotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>It seems of paramount importance to detect preexisting rectal prolapse to avoid overstaging.
