Abstract

Perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma presented with chronic perianal abscess is a rare disease. Early diagnosis is difficult and need a high index of suspicion and adequate biopsy. Most surgical option for operable cases is abdominoperineal resection. There are still no standard regimen for pre-or post operative chemoradiation treatment. Here, we report a case of this that was previously presented with a long-standing fistula in ano and a review of the literature on this rare disease.
