Stoma creation is frequently performed for conditions like malignancies and bowel obstructions, with potential complications such as prolapse and hernias. Stoma prolapse involves bowel protrusion through the stoma, causing discomfort and cosmetic concerns. This report describes an unusual case of mucosal prolapse from the proximal bowel loop mimicking stoma prolapse. A 16-year-old male with a loop ileostomy presented with protrusion, later identified intraoperatively as mucosa emerging through a serosal defect. Surgical resection and anastomosis led to complete recovery. This case highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis, timely surgical management, and patient education to prevent complications effectively.
