Abstract:
Mucinous adenocarcinomas of the anal region constitute only 2% of anal cancer and adenocarcinoma developing in a chronic tuberculous anal fistula is extremely rare. In most cases, its origin is difficult to ascertain because the primary sites have already been destroyed before any diagnosis of malignancy is made. We experienced a case of perianal adcnocarcinoma developing in chronic tuberculous anal fistula, which was treated by abdominoperineal resection with preoperative chemo-irradiation. We reported a case and reviewed the related literatures.
