- Abstract
Background: Hemorrhoidectomy is a common procedure used to treat symptomatic hemorrhoids. However, the necessity and cost-effectiveness of routinely conducting histopathological analysis on excised tissue samples are uncertain., Methods: A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE and EMBASE up to December 2023 for studies assessing the histopathological outcomes of hemorrhoidectomy specimens. Meta-analysis was performed on articles with combinable results to determine the pooled proportions of cancer and anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) using the random effects model., Results: From 2974 initial search results, 12 studies were included in the review, with 48,365 resected specimens from hemorrhoidectomy. Among these, there were 11 retrospective studies and one prospective study. A meta-analysis of 11 studies revealed that the prevalence of anal cancer was low, at 0.13% (95% CI: 0.05%-0.31%). The prevalence of anal cancer and AIN combined was 1.16% (95% CI: 0.53%-2.52%)., Conclusion: This literature review estimated the probability of malignancy detection in hemorrhoid specimens sent for histopathological evaluation. The low incidence of malignant findings implies that routine analysis of hemorrhoidectomy samples may not be cost-effective. However, existing studies have yet to establish definitive risk factors for abnormal histological diagnoses to aid in the selection of specimens for selective histopathology., (© 2024 The Author(s).

- Abstract
Background: Superficially invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SISCC) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) involving the anal canal are rare, and their surgical management involves local excision. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has recently emerged as a promising treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of ESD for SISCC and HSIL in the anal canal., Methods: All patients diagnosed with SISCC or HSIL in the anal canal who underwent ESD between November 2018 and May 2023 were included. Patient age, sex, pathology, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status, human papillomavirus (HPV) status, T stage, en bloc rate, and R0 resection rate were analyzed., Results: Ten patients, including two men and eight women, with a median age of 61 (51-68) years were enrolled. All patients were HIV-negative, but five (50%) were HPV-positive. Pathological examination showed tumor stage of two patients as T2, one as T0 of SISCC, and seven as Tis of HSIL. The median specimen and tumor sizes were 24 (6-65) mm and 18 (6-55) mm, respectively. The en bloc and R0 resection rates were 100% and 80%, respectively. No severe complications occurred and no recurrence was observed at the follow-up (median follow-up period, 9 (1-35) months)., Conclusions: ESD is a reliable and minimally invasive procedure that enables more individualized treatment options for specific groups. As we were limited by the length of the observation period, the long-term performance of ESD for SISCC and HSIL involving the anal canal requires further investigation., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Anal squamous cell carcinoma, typically associated with human papillomavirus infection, remains a rare malignancy. This article outlines a case of local recurrence in a male patient with a history of HIV and hepatitis C virus infection, previously treated with chemoradiotherapy. Extensive tumour involvement called for total pelvic exenteration extended to anterior osteomuscular compartment and genitalia. The surgical approach involved multidisciplinary collaboration and detailed preoperative planning using three-dimensional reconstruction. Key surgical considerations comprised the following: achieving tumour-free margins (R0 resection), extensive osteotomies and intricate pelvic floor reconstruction with prosthetic mesh and flap reconstruction. The procedure successfully yielded an R0 resection, maintaining adequate lower limb functionality. Our case report underscores the benefits of pelvic exenteration in locally advanced or recurrent pelvic tumours, invariably following careful patient selection and exhaustive preoperative studies., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2024.

- Abstract
Aim: The significance of lymphadenectomy and its indications in patients with inguinal lymph node metastasis (ILNM) of anorectal adenocarcinoma is unclear. This study aimed to clarify the surgical outcomes and prognostic factors of inguinal lymphadenectomy for ILNM., Method: This study included patients who underwent surgical resection for ILNM of rectal or anal canal adenocarcinoma with pathologically positive metastases between 1997 and 2011 at 20 participating centres in the Study Group for Inguinal Lymph Node Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer organized by the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum. Clinicopathological characteristics and short- and long-term postoperative outcomes were retrospectively analysed., Results: In total, 107 patients were included. The primary tumour was in the rectum in 57 patients (53.3%) and in the anal canal in 50 (46.7%). The median number of ILNMs was 2.34. Postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo Grade III or higher were observed in five patients. The 5-year overall survival rate was 38.8%. Multivariate analysis identified undifferentiated histological type (P < 0.001), pathological venous invasion (P = 0.01) and pathological primary tumour depth T0-2 (P = 0.01) as independent prognostic factors for poor overall survival., Conclusion: The 5-year overall survival after inguinal lymph node dissection was acceptable, and it warrants consideration in more patients. Further larger-scale studies are needed in order to clarify the surgical indications., (© 2024 Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland.)

- Abstract
We present a case of a 64-year-old male with a history of perianal abscesses that have been surgically treated on 10 occasions. Eight months after the last drainage procedure, he presented with a new abscess. Drainage was performed, revealing a cavity with smooth walls, a chronic appearance, filled with mucoid material. An internal fistulous opening was identified at the 6 o'clock position above the anorectal line, which communicated with the described cavity, forming a trans-sphincteric fistula to the mid-anal canal. Biopsy with pathological anatomy showed a mucinous adenocarcinoma with possible intestinal origin (CK20+, CDX2+, TTF1-, CK7+). After completing the evaluation, he was diagnosed with T4N1M0 rectal neoplasia. A diverting colostomy was performed, followed by neoadjuvant therapy, and subsequently, a laparoscopic abdominoperineal amputation. Pathological anatomy revealed residual adenocarcinoma ypT2N0 N0V0L0, R0. This case is notable for both the rarity of a mucinous adenocarcinoma originating in a perianal fistula and the nonspecific clinical presentation of such tumors. Clinical suspicion is crucial, especially in cases of recurrent abscesses with the discharge of mucoid material through fistulous openings, prompting the need for biopsies to ensure proper diagnosis and subsequent optimal treatment.

- Abstract
Background: The standard treatment for anal squamous cell carcinoma is chemoradiation therapy (CRT), but there is a possibility of over-treatment for early-stage disease. cTisN0 and cT1N0 disease is currently indicated for local excision, but it is unclear whether the indication of local excision can be expanded to cT2N0 disease., Methods: 126 patients with cTis-T2N0 anal cancer treated at 47 centers in Japan between 1991 and 2015 were included. Patients were first classified into the CRT group and surgical therapy group according to the initial therapy, and the latter was further divided into local excision (LE) and radical surgery (RS) groups. We compared prognoses among the groups, and analyzed risk factors for recurrence after local excision., Results: The CRT group (n = 87) and surgical therapy group (n = 39) showed no difference in relapse-free survival (p = 0.29) and overall survival (p = 0.94). Relapse-free survival curves in the LE (n = 23) and RS groups (n = 16) overlapped for the initial 3 years, but the curve for the LE group went lower beyond (p = 0.33). By contrast, there was no difference in overall survival between the two groups (p = 0.98). In the LE group, the majority of recurrences distributed in locoregional areas, which could be managed by salvage treatments. Muscular invasion was associated with recurrence after local excision (hazard ratio: 22.91, p = 0.011)., Conclusion: LE may be applied to selected patients with anal cancer of cTis-T2N0 stage. Given the high risk of recurrence in cases with muscular invasion, it may be important to consider close surveillance and additional treatment in such patients., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: This study assessed trends in treatment and outcomes of anal melanomas over a 17-year period., Methods: NCDB was searched for patients with anal melanoma (2004-2020). Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine cutoff year marking increased overall survival (OS) of anal melanoma. Characteristics, treatments, and outcomes in consecutive time periods were compared., Results: A total of 815 patients (mean age: 67.2 years; 59.4% female) were included: 354 in Period 1 (2004-2012) and 461 in Period 2 (2013-2020). Period 2 included fewer abdominoperineal resections (18% vs. 28%, p = 0.002), more local tumor excisions (61.1% vs. 55%, p = 0.002), more often immunotherapy (odds ratio [OR]: 3.41, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.22-5.22, p < 0.001) and less often chemotherapy (OR: 0.516, 95% CI: 0.352-0.755, p < 0.001) administered and longer median OS (25.2 vs. 19.8 months, p = 0.006). Independent predictors of worse OS were older age (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.02, p = 0.012), higher Charlson score (HR: 2.32, p = 0.02), and greater number of positive lymph nodes (HR: 1.15, p < 0.001); conversely private insurance (HR: 0.385, p = 0.008) was predictive of increased OS., Conclusions: Anal melanoma patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2020 underwent fewer abdominoperineal resections and more local excisions than patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2013. Increased immunotherapy and longer median OS were noted in period two. Age and private insurance were significant predictors of OS, remaining constant across time periods., (© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
Purpose: Ano-uro-genital (AUG) Mucosal Melanoma UK guidelines recommended a less radical surgical strategy for anorectal melanoma (ARM) where possible. We report our experience of ARM consistent with that approach including clinical presentation, intervention undertaken and prognosis., Methods: We present a retrospective study of 15 consecutive patients with ARM surgically treated between November 2014 and April 2023. Patients were divided into the two surgery types: wide local excision (WLE, n = 9) and abdominoperineal resection (APR, n = 6). Data on demographics, diagnosis, treatment and oncological outcomes were assessed between the groups., Results: The mean age was 65.3 ± 17.4 years and 6 (40.0%) were female patients. Nine patients (60.0%) were diagnosed with stage I and six patients (40.0%) with stage II disease. R0 margins were achieved in all cases. The overall mean length of stay was lower following WLE compared to APR (2.6 ± 2.4 days versus 14.0 ± 9.8 days, p = 0.032). Two complications were observed in the WLE group compared to four complications after APR (p = 0.605). Five patients (55.5%) developed local/distant recurrence in the WLE group compared to three patients (50.0%) in the APR group (p = 0.707), with a median overall survival of 38.5 (12-83) months versus 26.5 (14-48) months, respectively., Conclusions: Achieving clear margins by the least radical fashion may have equivalent oncological outcomes to radical surgery, potentially reducing patient morbidity and preserving function. In our experience, the surgical management of ARM consistent with the 'less is more' approach adhering to AUG guidelines has acceptable outcomes., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Purpose: The JCOG (Japan Clinical Oncology Group) 0212 study did not confirm the noninferiority of mesorectal excision (ME) alone to ME with LLND for rectal or anal adenocarcinomas. Furthermore, the significance of LLND for SCCs remains unknown. We evaluated the significance of lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anal canal., Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in 435 patients with SCCs among 1,781 patients with anal canal tumors. In 40 patients who underwent LLND, the 5-year relapse-free survival (5y-RFS) and 5-year overall survival (5y-OS) were compared between groups with positive and negative histopathological findings. In 71 patients with negative lateral lymph node metastasis in the preoperative diagnosis, the 5y-RFS, 5y-OS, and 5-year local recurrence-free survival were compared between patients who did and did not undergo LLND., Results: The clinical and pathological T stages predicted pathological lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis. There was no statistically significant difference in 5y-RFS and 5y-OS between patients who did and did not undergo LLND. Among patients who underwent LLND, 5y-RFS in those with positive histopathological findings (15.0%) was worse than that in those without (59.2%) (p = 0.002)., Conclusions: In patients who underwent LLND, 5y-RFS in those with positive histopathological findings than in those without LLND did not contribute to prognosis., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Immunodeficiency predisposes to severe manifestations of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, including extensive, recalcitrant anogenital lesions and their progression towards carcinomas. This holds for primary and acquired immunodeficiencies, and post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy. About 50% to 90% of patients receiving chronic immunosuppression after allogenic transplantation develop HPV-associated lesions within 4 to 5 years, comprising 10% to 15% of patients presenting with (pre)cancerous HPV-dependent anogenital lesions. Immunodeficiency is one of the highest risk factors associated with severe clinical manifestations of HPV-associated cancers. The primary objective of this work is to compare the long-term therapeutic effectiveness of surgical intervention for HPV-dependent lesions in transplant recipients undergoing chronic immunosuppression and patients burdened with primary or acquired immunodeficiencies. Two groups of 30 patients (selected for most extensive presentations of HPV-dependent neoplastic anogenital lesions), who underwent surgical treatment of these lesions were followed up for 3 to 5 years. The first group comprised patients who qualified and underwent kidney or liver transplantation (10 for a rare disease indication) and are under chronic immunosuppressive regimens. The second group comprised patients burdened by primary or acquired immunodeficiency (15 each). The recurrence rate in the follow-up period was the primary compared parameter. The recurrence rate was higher in the second group, amounting to >15%. For the first group a <5% recurrence rate was observed for recipients without rare disease indications, compared to <15% for recipients with such indications. The importance of rapid surgical intervention and the need for postoperative monitoring for recurrence is highlighted. Chronic immunosuppression demonstrates high relative safety and efficacy in terms of HPV-dependent anogenital lesion recurrence., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Venous thromboembolism occurs in approximately 2% of patients undergoing abdominal and pelvic surgery for cancers of the colon, rectum, and anus and is considered preventable. The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons recommends extended prophylaxis in high-risk patients, but there is low adherence to the guidelines., Objective: This study aims to analyze the impact of venous thromboembolism risk-guided prophylaxis in patients undergoing elective abdominal and pelvic surgeries for colorectal and anal cancers from 2016 to 2021., Design: This was a retrospective analysis., Setting: The study was conducted at a multisite tertiary referral academic health care system., Patients: Patients who underwent elective abdominal or pelvic surgery for colon, rectal, or anal cancer., Main Outcome Measures: Receipt of Caprini-guided venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, 90-day postoperative rate of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism, and bleeding events., Results: A total of 3504 patients underwent elective operations, of whom 2224 (63%) received appropriate thromboprophylaxis in the inpatient setting. In the postdischarged cohort of 2769 patients, only 2% received appropriate thromboprophylaxis and no thromboembolic events were observed. In the group receiving inappropriate thromboprophylaxis, at 90 days postdischarge, the deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and venous thromboembolism rates were 0.60%, 0.40%, and 0.88%, respectively. Postoperative bleeding was not different between the 2 groups., Limitations: Limitations to our study include its retrospective nature, use of aggregated electronic medical records, and single health care system experience., Conclusion: Most patients in our health care system undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery for cancers of the colon, rectum, and anus were discharged without appropriate Caprini-guided venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Risk-guided prophylaxis was associated with decreased rates of inhospital and postdischarge venous thromboembolism without increased bleeding complications. See Video Abstract ., Margen De Mejora El Impacto De La Tromboprofilaxis Recomendada Por Las Directrices En Pacientes Sometidos a Ciruga Abdominal Por Cncer Colorrectal Y Anal En Un Centro De Referencia Terciario: ANTECEDENTES:El tromboembolismo venoso ocurre en aproximadamente el 2% de los pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal y pélvica por cánceres de colon, recto y ano, y se considera prevenible. La Sociedad Estadounidense de Cirujanos de Colon y Recto recomienda una profilaxis prolongada en pacientes de alto riesgo, pero el cumplimiento de las directrices es bajo.OBJETIVO:Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de la profilaxis guiada por el riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso (TEV) en pacientes sometidos a cirugías abdominales y pélvicas electivas por cáncer colorrectal y anal entre 2016 y 2021.DISEÑO:Este fue un análisis retrospectivo.AJUSTE:El estudio se llevó a cabo en un sistema de salud académico de referencia terciaria de múltiples sitios.PACIENTES:Pacientes sometidos a cirugía abdominal o pélvica electiva por cáncer de colon, recto o ano.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Recepción de profilaxis de tromboembolismo venoso guiada por Caprini, tasa postoperatoria de 90 días de trombosis venosa profunda, embolia pulmonar, tromboembolismo venoso y eventos de sangrado.RESULTADOS:Un total de 3.504 pacientes se sometieron a operaciones electivas, de los cuales 2.224 (63%) recibieron tromboprofilaxis adecuada en el ámbito hospitalario. En el cohorte de 2.769 pacientes después del alta, solo el 2% recibió tromboprofilaxis adecuada en la que no se observaron eventos tromboembólicos. En el grupo que recibió tromboprofilaxis inadecuada, a los 90 días después del alta, las tasas de trombosis venosa profunda, embolia pulmonar y tromboembolia venosa fueron del 0,60%, 0,40% y 0,88%, respectivamente. El sangrado posoperatorio no fue diferente entre los dos grupos.LIMITACIONES:Las limitaciones de nuestro estudio incluyen su naturaleza retrospectiva, el uso de registros médicos electrónicos agregados y la experiencia de un solo sistema de atención médica.CONCLUSIÓN:La mayoría de los pacientes en nuestro sistema de salud sometidos a cirugía abdominal o pélvica por cánceres de colon, recto y ano fueron dados de alta sin una profilaxis adecuada de TEV guiada por Caprini. La profilaxis guiada por el riesgo se asoció con menores tasas de tromboembolismo venoso hospitalario y dado de alta sin un aumento de las complicaciones de sangrado.

- Abstract
The management of anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) has yet to experience the transformative impact of precision medicine. Conducting genomic analyses may uncover novel prognostic biomarkers and offer potential directions for the development of targeted therapies. To that end, we assessed the prognostic and theragnostic implications of pathogenic variants identified in 571 cancer-related genes from surgical samples collected from a homogeneous, multicentric French cohort of 158 ASCC patients who underwent abdominoperineal resection treatment. Alterations in PI3K/AKT/mTOR, chromatin remodeling, and Notch pathways were frequent in HPV-positive tumors, while HPV-negative tumors often harbored variants in cell cycle regulation and genome integrity maintenance genes (e.g., frequent TP53 and TERT promoter mutations). In patients with HPV-positive tumors, KMT2C and PIK3CA exon 9/20 pathogenic variants were associated with worse overall survival in multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio (HR)
KMT2C = 2.54, 95%CI = [1.25,5.17], P value = .010; HRPIK3CA = 2.43, 95%CI = [1.3,4.56], P value = .006). Alterations with theragnostic value in another cancer type was detected in 43% of patients. These results suggest that PIK3CA and KMT2C pathogenic variants are independent prognostic factors in patients with ASCC with HPV-positive tumors treated by abdominoperineal resection. And, importantly, the high prevalence of alterations bearing potential theragnostic value strongly supports the use of genomic profiling to allow patient enrollment in precision medicine clinical trials., (© 2023 UICC.)- Published

- Abstract
Background: Anorectal melanoma (AM) is a rare and aggressive type of tumor, with varied and inconclusive scientific information. Its preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its rarity and similarity to other anorectal conditions. It represents only 1.3% of melanomas and affects more women than men. Approximately 20-30% of AM cases are amelanotic, complicating endoscopic detection and leading to misdiagnoses. AM is often confused with hemorrhoids, polyps, and rectal cancer in two thirds of patients due to similar symptoms. The causes and risk factors of AM are not well understood, but they are suspected to differ from cutaneous and ocular melanomas. Diagnosis is performed through biopsy and immunohistochemical staining. Colonoscopy helps to characterize the lesions, and histological examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis., Clinical Case: 50-year-old woman with rectal bleeding and proctalgia. AM was diagnosed through colonoscopy, and transanal resection with hemorrhoidectomy was performed., Conclusions: Management of AM is complicated by the lack of randomized trials. Resection surgery is the standard treatment, but there is no established protocol. Wide local excision may be an option for limited cases. Further research is needed to improve the management and treatment of AM. Early detection and complete surgical removal are crucial for enhancing survival in these patients., (Licencia CC 4.0 (BY-NC-ND) © 2024 Revista Médica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.)

- Abstract
Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is the most common histological subtype of malignant tumor affecting the anal canal. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the first-line treatment in nearly all cases, ensuring complete clinical response in up to 80% of patients. Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is typically reserved as salvage therapy in those patients with persistent or recurrent tumor after CRT. In locally advanced tumors, an extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE), which entails excision of the anal canal and levator muscles, might be indicated to obtain negative resection margins. In this setting, the combination of highly irradiated tissue and large surgical defect increases the risk of developing postoperative perineal wound complications. One of the most dreadful complications is perineal evisceration (PE), which requires immediate surgical treatment to avoid irreversibile organ damage. Different techniques have been described to prevent perineal complications after ELAPE, although none of them have reached consensus. In this technical note, we present a case of PE after ELAPE performed for a recurrent ASCC. Perineal evisceration was approached by combining a uterine retroversion with a gluteal transposition flap to obtain wound healing and reinforcement of the pelvic floor at once, when a mesh placement is not recommended., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: High-risk patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection and pelvic exenteration may benefit from immediate flap reconstruction. However, there is currently no consensus on the ideal flap choice or patient for whom this is necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of using pedicled gracilis flaps for pelvic reconstruction and to analyze predictors of postoperative complications., Methods: This was a retrospective review of a single reconstructive surgeon's cases between January 2012 and June 2021 identifying patients who underwent perineal reconstruction secondary to oncologic resection. Preoperative and outcome variables were collected and analyzed to determine the risk of developing minor and major wound complications., Results: A total of 101 patients were included in the study with most patients (n = 88) undergoing unilateral gracilis flap reconstruction after oncologic resection. The mean follow-up period was 75 months. Of 101 patients, 8 (7.9%) developed early major complications, and an additional 13 (12.9%) developed late major complications. Minor complications developed in 33 patients (32.7%) with most cases being minor wound breakdown requiring local wound care. Most patients (n = 92, 91.1%) did not develop donor site complications. Anal cancer was significantly associated with early major complications, whereas younger age and elevated body mass index were significant predictors of developing minor wound complications., Conclusions: This study builds on our previous work that demonstrated the long-term success rate of gracilis flap reconstruction after large pelvic oncologic resections. A few patients developed donor site complications, and perineal complications were usually easily managed with local wound care, thus making the gracilis flap an attractive alternative to abdominal-based flaps., (Copyright © 2023 Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract.

- Abstract
A 30s female complaining of anal pain and melena was referred to our hospital. The support by adolescent-and-young- adult(AYA)team was initiated after the first encounter. Colonoscopic examination revealed an ulcerated tumor on the anterior wall of anal canal with its anal margin on anal verge and the tumor was diagnosed as an adenocarcinoma. Contrast- enhanced CT and MRI revealed adjacency of tumor and vagina, enlarged lymph nodes and multiple pulmonary nodules. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)-positron emission tomography(PET)additionally revealed tracer accumulation in left sciatica, which led us to the diagnosis of advanced anal cancer. We planned and safely performed concomitant partial vaginal resection in robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection for the palliative purpose after discussion on physical and psychosocial issues including stoma and fertility with the patient, her family and AYA members. The pathological diagnosis was pT4b(vagina)N1aM1b, pStage ⅣB, and the local margin was pathologically negative. The postoperative course was smooth and she was discharged on postoperative day 16. Fifty one days after operation, she started systemic chemotherapy after decision on not to take ovarian samples and continues systemic chemotherapy as of writing. Support by AYA team was effective to facilitate the patient's decision-making and the communication between the patient and the medical team.

- Abstract
Background: Using standard anterior approaches, consistent R0 resection of locally advanced primary and recurrent rectal and anal cancer involving the deep pelvic sidewall may be unattainable. Therefore, to improve R0 resection rates, we have used a posterior-first, then anterior 2-stage approach to resection of tumors in this location., Objective: To assess the R0 resection rate and surgical outcomes of the first 10 patients operated on using this approach., Design: We conducted a retrospective case series review of our prospectively maintained surgical pathology and tumor registries., Setting: This study was conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota., Patients: Ten patients (6 female individuals, median age 53.5 years) with primary or recurrent anal or rectal cancer treated with a posterior-first, then anterior 2-stage approach were identified., Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measures were the R0 resection rate and surgical outcomes., Results: An R0 resection was achieved in all 10 patients. Nine patients developed 1 or more 30-day Clavien-Dindo grade III complications. Nine patients developed gluteal wound complications ranging from superficial wound dehiscence to flap necrosis. During the follow-up period, 4 patients were found to have metastatic disease and 1 patient had local re-recurrence., Limitations: Small cohort with heterogeneous tumors and a short follow-up duration., Conclusion: A posterior-first, then anterior 2-stage approach has allowed us to achieve consistent R0 resection margins in locally advanced primary and recurrent rectal and anal cancers involving the deep pelvic sidewall. Poor wound healing of the posterior gluteal incision is a common complication.

- Abstract
We present an 82-year-old male patient who underwent laparoscopic abdominal perineal rectal amputation and D3 lymph node dissection, including left inguinal lymph node dissection for anal canal carcinoma. Left inguinal lymph node metastasis was positive, and pT1bN2aM0, pStage Ⅲa was the final pathological diagnosis. He underwent 8 courses of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin therapy as adjuvant chemotherapy. He was examined without recurrence for 5 years postoperatively. However, he awared a perineal subcutaneous tumor and was transferred to our hospital for further examination and treatment 6 years postoperatively. Recurrence after anal canal carcinoma surgery was diagnosed based on a needle biopsy, and perineal subcutaneous tumor resection was performed. This is a rare case of late postoperative recurrence of anal canal carcinoma, which was detected due to a perineal subcutaneous tumor 6 years after surgery for anal canal carcinoma.

- Abstract
Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN2-3) among immunocompetent women treated for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2-3). Such knowledge is strongly needed to establish whether a screening program should be recommended in this group of patients., Methods: This prospective study included a cohort of consecutive women with no known causes of immunosuppression treated with LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) for a histopathological diagnosis of CIN2-3 in our center between 2019 and 2021. Following the procedure, all patients were invited to undergo anal cytology and anal high-risk HPV-DNA testing (aHPV-DNA). In cases in which one or both tests resulted positive, a high-resolution anoscopy with a biopsy of suspicious lesions was performed. All women also completed a questionnaire on sexual habits., Results: At total of 100 women were enrolled in the study. Among these, eight patients had a concomitant or past diagnosis of anogenital warts, while one patient had received a previous diagnosis of high-grade vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia. Anal Pap smears were positive for low-grade lesions in three patients, while 73 women tested positive for aHPV-DNA. Histological examinations revealed the presence of AIN2-3 lesions in four patients (6.5%; 95% C.I., 1.8 to 15.7%), who subsequently underwent excisional treatment., Conclusions: Women with a history of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia have an intermediate risk of developing high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia. Future studies are needed in order to assess an ideal screening approach for this condition., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
The patient, a man in his 60s, first noticed an elevated lesion around the anus 3 years ago. The lesion failed to subside with the topical drug preparations prescribed at a local clinic, and the patient was referred to the Department of Dermatology of our hospital for further workup and treatment. The findings of biopsy from the lesion suggested skin infiltration of anal canal carcinoma, and the patient was referred to the Department of Surgery. Examination here revealed only induration of the anal canal, with no abnormality of the rectal mucosa even when the endoscope was reversed to visualize the rectum. Examination by various imaging modalities failed to reveal any metastases to the lymph nodes or distant organs, and the primary lesion remained unidentified. Laparoscopic abdominoperineal excision of the rectum was performed, beginning with anal manipulation. First, a 15-mm margin was set on the skin from the tumor edge, and the skin stump was divided into 4 equal portions. After confirming by rapid intraoperative frozen-section examination that the margin was negative along the full circumference, anal manipulation was performed, leaving a distance in the vertical direction immediately below the tumor. Upon completion of the anal manipulation, intraperitoneal manipulation was performed in a routine manner. The anal skin was relaxed subcutaneously, as done during mastectomy, and the subsequent suture closure could be done smoothly. The tumor was classified as pT1bN0M0, pStage Ⅰ. The experience with this case indicates that biopsy should be proactively employed for the diagnosis in such cases, and that proactive skin biopsy is useful when dealing with intractable anal skin lesions.

- Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficacy and safety of transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for total pelvic exenteration (TPE) in advanced primary and recurrent pelvic malignancies., Methods: Using a prospectively collected database, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical, surgical, and pathological outcomes of TAMIS for TPE. Surgery was performed between September 2019 and April 2023. The median follow-up period was 22 months (2-45 months)., Results: Fifteen consecutive patients were included in this analysis M:F = 14:1 and median (range) age was 63 (36-74). Their diagnoses were as follows: primary rectal cancer (n = 5; 33%), recurrent rectal cancer (n = 4; 27%), primary anorectal cancer (n = 5; 33%), and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (n = 1; 7%). Bladder-sparing TPE was selected for two patients (13%). In nine of 15 patients (60%) the anal sphincter could be successfully preserved, five patients (33%) required combined resection of the internal iliac vessels, and two (13%) required rectus muscle flap reconstruction. The median operative time was 723 min (561-1082), and the median intraoperative blood loss was 195 ml (30-1520). The Clavien-Dindo classifications of the postoperative complications were as follows: grade 0-2 (n = 11; 73%); 3a (n = 3; 20%); 3b (n = 1; 7%); and ≥ 4 (n = 0; 0%). No cases of conversion to laparotomy or mortality were observed. The pathological results demonstrated that R0 was achieved in 14 patients (93%)., Conclusions: The short-term outcomes of this initial experience proved that this novel approach is feasible for TPE, with low blood loss, acceptable postoperative complications, and a satisfactory R0 resection rate., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Introduction: There is increasing use of local excision (LE) for definitive treatment of early-stage anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) to avoid the morbidity associated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT). However, the importance of different histological variables on risk of recurrence is poorly understood., Methods: A detailed analysis of patient characteristics, histology results, recurrence patterns and salvage treatment was conducted in consecutive T1/T2N0 ASCC patients treated by LE 2010-2021 across a UK regional cancer network multi-disciplinary team (MDT). Associations between potential predictors of disease recurrence were explored using chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis tests for categorical and continuous variables respectively., Results: Of 621 ASCC patients discussed in the network MDT, 164 had early-stage disease (T1/T2 N0). Of these, 36 (22%) were deemed suitable for LE (median age 61 years, female to male ratio 2:1). Twenty-two LE tumours were T1; 14 were T2. There were 12 well-differentiated tumours, 21 moderate and 3 poorly-differentiated. Seven out of 36 LE patients (19.4%) developed recurrence, all of whom went on to have salvage treatment with CRT (n = 4), re-excision (n = 2) or radiotherapy (n = 1). Predictors of disease recurrence following LE were: tumour differentiation (p = 0.024), tumour depth (p = 0.033) and R1 resection margin (p = 0.034). Tumour stage and site (margin/canal) were non-significant., Conclusion: LE for T1/T2 N0 ASCC of the margin or canal is a viable treatment strategy to avoid the morbidity associated with CRT and salvage treatments are still available for patients that develop recurrence. Tumour differentiation, depth and margin status are all important factors to consider when discussing management of early-stage ASCC., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None., (© 2023 Published by Elsevier Ltd.)

- Abstract
A 50-year-old lady presented with complaints of a progressively increasing anal mass and occasional bleeding per rectum for the past 4 months. Examination revealed an ulcero-proliferative growth in the anal canal, whose biopsy was suggestive of malignant melanoma. Inguinal lymph nodes, though enlarged, did not show evidence of malignant deposits on FNAC. Radiological investigations revealed a T3 lesion with no evidence of nodal metastasis. She underwent local excision of the mass with uneventful intraoperative and postoperative periods. The purpose of this report is to highlight the formidable challenges encountered in diagnosing this rare tumour, with potential implications for misdiagnosis, particularly within a resource-poor setting. This case highlights the importance of resource-appropriate approaches and surgical options available in a tertiary care hospital in North India.

- Abstract
Pagetoid spread (PS) of anorectal cancer is relatively rare and associated with poor prognosis. While a primary tumorous lesion is usually obvious in most PS cases, we experienced two cases of nonmass-forming type anorectal cancer with PS. It remains challenging to decide strategies. In both cases, histological findings of a perianal skin biopsy showed proliferation of atypical cells that were positive for cytokeratin (CK) 7, CK20, and caudal type homeobox 2 and negative for Gross cystic disease fluid protein 15, suggesting PS. Abdominoperineal resection (APR) with extensive anal skin resection was performed in both patients. The pathological diagnosis in each was nonmass-forming type anorectal cancer with PS. Neither has experienced recurrence in postoperative courses. Even nonmass-forming type anorectal cancer with PS could have high malignant potentials. APR with lymph nodes dissection and wide skin excision and regular surveillance might be necessary., (© 2023 Asia Endosurgery Task Force and Japan Society of Endoscopic Surgery and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.)

- Abstract
Background: Anal adenocarcinoma (AA) is a rare malignancy with decreased survival compared to rectal adenocarcinoma (RA). However, AA continues to be treated with similar algorithms compared to rectal cancer with minimal data regarding the efficacy of these treatment algorithms., Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with non-metastatic AA at a single tertiary-care institution from 1995 to 2020. This cohort was matched 2:1 to a group of RA patients for comparison. The primary outcome of interest was overall survival rates., Results: Sixteen patients with stages I-III AA were matched to a cohort of RA. There were no significant differences between the cohorts with regard to patient demographics, comorbidities, disease stage or histologic features. There were also no significant differences in treatment modalities between the two cohorts with a majority undergoing multimodal therapy with chemoradiation and surgery. All patients with AA demonstrated significantly worse survival than all patients with rectal adenocarcinoma (five-year survival 47.7% vs. 82.3%, respectively. p < 0.05). When looking at a sub-group of patients who underwent combination chemoradiation and surgery from each cohort, anal adenocarcinoma continued to exhibit lower overall survival (five-year survival 41.6% and 86.4%, respectively. p < 0.05). In a multi-variable model that adjusted for location, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage and treatment pathway, tumor location in the anal canal was an independent predictor of overall survival (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.7, p < 0.05)., Conclusion: AA has worse survival as compared to RA despite similar treatment. This study highlights the need to evaluate the current classification and treatment pathways to improve outcomes., (© 2023. Indian Society of Gastroenterology.)

- Abstract
Background: Although squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the anal canal, it rarely affects the rectum. The present study aimed to assess the differences in characteristics, treatments, clinical and pathologic outcomes, and survival between anal and rectal squamous cell carcinoma., Methods: The United States National Cancer Databases (2004-2020) of anal canal and rectal cancer were used for this retrospective cohort analysis. Patients with anal or rectal squamous cell carcinoma were included in the analysis. The study's primary outcome was overall survival, and secondary outcomes were 30-day and 90-day mortality, 30-day readmission, and positive resection margins., Results: The present study included 76,830 patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma and 7,908 with rectal squamous cell carcinoma. Patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma presented more often with early clinical stage I and stage II disease (50.4% vs 45.9%, P < .001) and less often with stage IV disease (6.5% vs 15.1%, P < .001). Anal squamous cell carcinomas were more often treated with upfront surgery than were rectal squamous cell carcinomas (37.7% vs 19.7%, P < .001), whereas rectal squamous cell carcinomas were more often treated with chemoradiation therapy alone (68.3% vs 59.8%, P < .001). Anal squamous cell carcinomas were treated more often with local excision (33.4% vs 15.8%, P < .001) than rectal squamous cell carcinoma. Anal squamous cell carcinoma was associated with a higher incidence of positive resection margins (41.9% vs 32.8%, P < .001). The 30-day and 90-day mortality rates were higher after surgery for rectal squamous cell carcinoma than for anal squamous cell carcinoma (1.5% vs 0.4% and 4.1% vs 1.6%, respectively, P < .001). Anal squamous cell carcinoma had longer median overall survival (145.3 vs 90.3 months, P < .001) than rectal squamous cell carcinoma., Conclusion: Patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma presented more often with early-stage disease and less often with distant metastasis and were more often treated with upfront surgery, mainly local excision. Anal squamous cell carcinoma was associated with lower 30-day and 90-day mortality and longer overall survival than rectal squamous cell carcinoma., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Abstract: Many patients are affected by HIV/AIDS, and these conditions are highly prevalent worldwide. Patients with HIV/AIDS can experience debilitating wound infections that often require flap reconstruction and become challenging for surgeons to treat. In the past 5 years, mesenchymal stem cells have been tested and used as regenerative therapy to promote the growth of tissues throughout the body because of their ability to successfully promote cellular mitogenesis. To the authors' knowledge, the use of mesenchymal stem cell grafting following necrosis of a myocutaneous gracilis flap (as part of perineal wound reconstruction) has never been reported in the literature.In addition, the use of mesenchymal stem cells and regenerative medicine combined in the setting of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus with prior radiation (along with comorbid AIDS) has not been previously documented.In this report, the authors outline the case of a 60-year-old patient who had a recipient bed (perineum) complication from prior radiation therapy. Complicating the clinical picture, the patient also developed a Pseudomonal organ space infection of the pelvis leading to the failure of a vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and myocutaneous gracilis flaps. As a result, the patient underwent serial operative debridements for source control, with the application of mesenchymal stem cells, fetal bovine dermis, porcine urinary bladder xenograft, and other regenerative medicine products, achieving a highly successful clinical outcome. A procedural description for future use and replication of this method is provided., (Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Aim: Squamous cell carcinomas of the anus are normally treated with synchronous chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Small, localized anal margin tumours may be adequately treated by local excision (LE) alone. This study aims to investigate the outcomes of patients with anal margin tumours treated with LE alone, reserving the use of CRT for salvage on local recurrence (LR)., Methods: Patients with small, localized (stage I/IIA) anal margin tumours treated by LE from October 1999 to September 2018 were identified. The effect of tumour size and resection margin on LR risk was analysed. Outcomes of overall survival and disease-free survival were measured., Results: Fifty-five patients with anal margin tumours were identified. Overall 5-year LR, overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 8%, 86% and 82% respectively. Of the seven LRs, five were successfully salvaged with CRT with no further recurrence and two were not fit for CRT. Resection margins in non-fragmented tumours and tumour size did not significantly influence LR risk., Conclusions: Most small, localized anal margin tumours can be adequately treated by LE alone with low LR rates. Most patients who developed LR were salvaged using CRT, with no cancer-related deaths reported., (© 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Abdominoperineal resection (APR) is today the standard treatment for improving survival in case of mesorectal failure without anal canal recurrence after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCC). The aim of this study was to assess if a sphincter-saving surgery is a safe alternative to classical salvage APR in these patients., Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on all patients who had total mesorectal excision (TME) with sphincter-saving surgery either with coloanal or low colorectal anastomosis, for mesorectal failure after CRT for SCC between 2012 and 2020 at our institution. The main endpoint of our study was oncological results at the end of follow-up. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were secondary endpoints., Results: There were 10 patients, (8 women, median age 55 years [range 45-61 years]). On TME specimens, R0 resections were noted in five (50%), R1 resection in four (40%) and R2 resection in one (10%). After a median follow-up of 42 months (4-74 months), five patients were alive, and four (40%) were alive at 5-year follow-up. During follow-up, locoregional failure after TME was noted in two patients (20%), distant relapse in three patients (30%) and both locoregional plus distant failure in two patients (20%). Only two patients (20%) had anal recurrence, one in the anal canal, the other in the peri-anastomotic area. Long- term local control was achieved in 2 of the 5 patients (40%) who underwent R0 resection versus only 1/4 patients (25%) with R1 resection., Conclusions: Our preliminary study suggested that sphincter-saving surgery could be proposed in selected patients with SCC presenting mesorectal failure after CRT, providing a feasible R0 resection., (© 2022.

- Abstract
A man in his 80s was referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of perianal erosion. Colonoscopy revealed a peripheral flat lesion in the anal canal. Since immunohistological examination showed positive for CK20 and negative for GCDFP15, we made a preoperative diagnosis of anal canal cancer with Pagetoid spread. It was diagnosed as cT1bN0M0, cStage Ⅰ by TNM classification, and laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection with TpTME was performed. Negative biopsy of the perianal skin was confirmed both preoperation and during the operation. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no urinary dysfunction was observed. The patient was discharged 15 days after the operation. The histopathological diagnosis was negative margin. The patient is alive without recurrence 1 year after the operation. Adenocarcinoma of anal canal with Pagetoid spread is rare, and differentiation from Paget's disease is important for determining treatment policy. By conducting a detailed examination of the extent of tumor progression and using TpTME together, it was possible to perform surgery that both secured the CRM and preserved urinary function.

- Abstract
The patient was an 80s woman. She visited our hospital with chief complaint of melena, and further evaluation revealed anal canal cancer. We performed robot-assisted abdominoperineal resection(D3 lymphadenectomy)and lateral lymph node dissection. The pathological diagnosis was anal canal cancer, muc>por1>tub2, T3N1bM0, pStage Ⅲb. One year after the surgery, she had a mass in the soft tissue of perineum on CT scan and PET-CT showed abnormal accumulation, which was diagnosed as local recurrence. At the same time, she also had a mass with abnormal accumulation in ascending colon, and it was diagnosed as ascending colon cancer. In both cases, we judged radical resection was possible, and the policy of surgery was decided. First, laparoscopic ileocecal resection was performed. The local recurrence lesion became a mass, invading the soft tissue of the perineum, the posterior wall of the vagina, and the cervix. So, we performed laparoscopic excision of local recurrent region together with the uterus and the posterior wall of the vagina. Based on the result of pathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with ascending colon cancer(tub1, pT1bN1aM0, pStage Ⅲa), and recurrence of anal canal cancer. The postoperative course is good and there are no signs of recurrence for 6 months after the operation.

- Abstract
A rare case of a squamous cell carcinoma (so-called cloacogenic carcinoma) showing extensive superficial spread to the rectum is presented. A 69-year-old woman had undergone colonoscopy for annual check-up, and a whitish, flat lesion with a central depressed area, 20 mm in size, was identified in the lower rectum. Narrow-band imaging with magnifying observation showed abnormal microvessels without the intrapapillary capillary loop patterns. Endoscopically, the margin of the lesion was unclear. Biopsy was performed, and a histological diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma was made. Computed tomography showed no evidence of involvement of adjacent organs, lymph nodes or distant sites. Cystoscopy found no abnormality in the bladder mucosa. Owing to difficulty diagnosing this tumor accurately, local excision with transanal endoscopic microsurgery was performed. Cloacogenic carcinoma with submucosal invasion was diagnosed. A human papilloma virus (HPV) polymerase chain reaction test was positive. Judging from the histological findings and the positive HPV test, we hypothesis that the tumor was likely arising from the anal transitional zone with marked superficial spread to the rectum. Clinicians should keep in mind that this variant of squamous cell carcinoma may occur in the rectum, even if no endoscopic findings are seen in the anal transitional zone., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Background: Perineal reconstruction following salvage APR's for squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) are scant with conflicting results from large and single center studies. We analyzed these techniques taking into account sociodemographic and oncologic variables., Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study from 2016-2019 using a targeted ACS/NSQIP database stratified into primary closure (PC), abdominal myocutaneous (AM), lower extremity (LE), and omental pedicled (OP) flaps. We analyzed major and wound complications through univariate and multivariate regression analysis., Results: A total of 766 patients were analyzed, 512 (67%) had PC, 196 (25%) AM, 36 (5%) OP and 22 (3%) LE. Rates of chemotherapy and radiation within 90 days were similar between the groups. Having 2 or more additional organs resected was more common for the AM group (AM 4.1%, PC 1.6%, OP 3.3%, LE 0%). Overall, major complication rate was 41% (n = 324). Primary closure had 35.0%, OP 47.2%, AM 52.6%, and LE 45.5%. Wound complication rate was highest in AM with 11.7%, followed by OP 8.3%, PC 5.9%, and LE 0%. The multivariate regression analysis demonstrated none of the closure techniques to be associated with increasing or decreasing the probability of having a major or wound complication. Morbidity probability was the sole predictor of major complication (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.04-1.1)., Conclusions: Myocutaneous and omental flaps are associated with comparable wound and major complications when taking into account the baseline, oncologic and perioperative variables that drive the clinical decision making when selecting a perineal reconstruction.

- Abstract
Background: Basal cell carcinoma of the perianal region is a rare anorectal disease. This condition is not related to exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Because of the low prevalence and poor detection, there is a paucity of data relating to this condition in the literature. Perianal basal cell carcinoma presents surgical challenges different from other anatomic locations and may not share the same prevalence or natural history. Here, we describe the largest series to date on the surgical management of perianal basal cell carcinoma., Objective: We aimed to present our 35-year experience in managing perianal basal cell carcinoma in this study., Design: This was a retrospective single-center analysis., Setting: The study was conducted at a large tertiary referral academic health care system., Patients: All patients undergoing surgical management of pathology confirmed perianal basal cell carcinoma., Interventions: All patients underwent surgical management of their disease., Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcomes were disease recurrence, mortality, and wound complications., Results: A total of 29 patients were identified with an average follow-up of 5.5 years. At index presentation, 27.6% of patients had multiple basal cell carcinoma in other anatomic locations. Ninety-three percent of patients were adequately treated with local excision, but 60% had wound dehiscence at the time of their first follow-up visit. Ultimately, there were no recurrences or disease-related mortality during the follow-up period., Limitations: Limitations to our study include its nonrandomized retrospective nature, single-institution experience, and small patient sample size., Conclusions: Perianal basal cell carcinoma carries a high rate of synchronous presentation in other locations and should prompt a thorough evaluation. Perianal basal cell carcinomas can and should be successfully treated with local excision despite the high rate of wound complications.

Esta condición no está relacionada con la exposición a la radiación ultravioleta. Debido a la baja prevalencia y detección pobre, hay escasez de datos relacionados con esta condición en la literatura. El carcinoma de células basales perianal presenta diferentes desafíos quirúrgicos en otras ubicaciones anatómicas y puede no compartir la misma prevalencia o historia natural. A continuación, describimos la serie más grande hasta la fecha sobre el tratamiento quirúrgico del carcinoma de células basales perianal.OBJETIVO:Presentar nuestra experiencia de 35 años en el manejo del carcinoma de células basales perianal.DISEÑO:Este fue un análisis retrospectivo de un solo centro.ENTORNO CLINICO:El estudio se llevó a cabo en un gran centro de salud académico de referencia terciaria.PACIENTES:Todos los pacientes sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico con patología confirmatoria de carcinoma basocelular perianal.INTERVENCIONES:Todos los pacientes fueron sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico de su enfermedad.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Los resultados primarios fueron la recurrencia de la enfermedad, mortalidad, y complicaciones de la herida.RESULTADOS:Se identificaron un total de 29 pacientes con un seguimiento promedio de 5.5 años. El 27,6% de los pacientes tenían carcinoma basocelular múltiple en otras localizaciones anatómicas en la presentación inicial. El 93% de los pacientes fueron tratados adecuadamente con escisión local, pero el 60% tuvo dehiscencia de la herida en el momento de la primera visita de seguimiento. En última instancia, no hubo recurrencias ni mortalidad relacionada con la enfermedad durante el período de seguimiento.LIMITACIONES:Las limitaciones de nuestro estudio incluyen su naturaleza retrospectiva no aleatorizada, la experiencia de una sola institución y el tamaño pequeño de la muestra de pacientes.CONCLUSIONES:El carcinoma de células basales perianal tiene una alta tasa de presentación sincrónica en otras localizaciones y debe dar lugar a una evaluación exhaustiva. Los CBC perianales pueden y deben ser tratados exitosamente con escisión local a pesar de la alta tasa de complicaciones de herida. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B883 .

- Abstract
In our case report, we describe a rare form of metastatic colorectal carcinoma, in which tumor cells spread intraluminally and metastasis occurs with implantation mechanism far from the primary tumor. A 43-year-old male patient developed perianal abscess. After surgical intervention a fistula-in-ano appeared at the site of the abscess. Fistulotomy was performed in another hospital. A few months later, we admitted him to our department with an abnormal tissue proliferation appearing in the surgical area. Histology confirmed adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy detected tissue proliferation in the sigmoid colon, causing a subtotal stenosis. Laparoscopic rectosigmoid resection and per anum tumor excision were performed. Detailed histological examination confirmed the same mucinous adenocarcinoma in the colon and the anorectal malformation. In this case, implantation mechanism is likely in the development of a synchronous tumor at the site of the fistula-in-ano. Implantation metastasis is considered rare, only a few cases have been reported in the international literature so far. We are not aware of any similar case reported from Hungary.
