  • Title: Mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from chronic perianal fistula.
    Author: Hisham RB, Sabariah AR, Yunus AG.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2006 Mar; 61(1):88-90. PubMed ID: 16708740.
    Abstract:
    Perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor which may be associated with long-standing chronic perianal sepsis. Early diagnosis is challenging and is based on a high index of clinical suspicion and specific histological features. Definitive treatment is surgical, in the form of an abdomino-perineal resection. We hereby describe a case of a perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from long-standing recurrent perianal fistula and complement this with a brief review of the literature pertaining in particular to the management of this condition.
