Core Tip	Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis when confronting a patient with rectal symptoms to avoid misdiagnosis and needless treatments. Differentiating between LGV and inflammatory bowel disease can be challenging due to their similarity in clinical, endoscopic, and histopathological features especially in patients whom sexual history is not known. Our case illustrates the importance of sexual history in our diagnostic approach and the urge for clinicians to increase awareness of LGV among high risk populations.
