Abstract: There are several special types of tumors in the rectal and anal canal,such as neuroendocrine tumors(NETs),gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST),squamous cell anal carcinoma(SCAC),anorectal malignant melanoma(ARMM),and primary rectal lymphoma(PRL).They are rare and have different clinical characteristics from the rectal cancer,resulting in insufficient understanding of them by clinicians.This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of special types of tumors in the rectal and anal region.
