    Abstract:
    A 79-year-old woman was reffered to our hospital with the chief complaint of hematochezia. Type-2 tumor was found on anal canal by colonoscopy, and pathologic examination revealed a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated obturatory node metastasis. The patient was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma of the anal cana (l cStage III). After four months from chemoradiation (66 Gy/33 Fr plus S-1), the ulcer side was improved completely to epithelization, and abdominal CT scan showed a remarkable reduction of obturatory node metastasis. She was obtained a complete response. Now the patient is disease-free for ten months after chemoradiation.
