conclusion the dwmri is a useful technique for evaluating activity of fistulas with abscess. perianal fistula visibility is greater with combined t2wi and dwmri than t2wi alone. patients and methods fifty-three patients with 56 perianal fistulas were included in the current retrospective study. the t2-weighted imaging (t2wi) and dwmri were performed and apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) valu...

INTRODUCTION Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition patients may have extra intestinal symptoms. Perianal fistulae and abscesses may occur in as many as 20%–40% of patients with CD and are a significant cause of morbidity. Imaging modalities include fistulography, CT and MRI.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Reports show that between 25% and 78% of patients with anogenital dermatitis have positive patch test results. Consequently, patch testing would appear to be warranted in patients presenting with eczema in the anogenital region. The objectives of the present study were to identify the most common allergens in patients with perianal eczema and to determine which aller...

Tumours of the perianal region occur frequently in dogs (Bennett et al. 2002), with benign adenomas comprising 5896% of tumours at this site (Turek & Withrow 2013). In some cases these may transform to become malignant perianal adenocarcinomas, and these need to be distinguished from adenocarcinomas which derive from the apocrine secretory epithelium within the wall of the anal sacs (Polton & B...

Condyloma acuminatum is located in the perianal region, anal canal, vagina and the perineum. It is caused by human papillomavirus types 6 and 11. A 18 year-old man was admitted to the clinic because of a perianal mass. On examination of the patient's perianal area and inside the anal canal, a mass was found, which was nearly 8 x 8 cm in size. We could not obtain any information about venereal t...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease characterized by a proliferation of cells that show immunophenotypic and ultrastructural similarities with antigen-presenting Langerhans cells of mucosal sites and skin. LCH in adults is rare, and there are still many undiagnosed/misdiagnosed patients. We describe LCH involvement of the perianal region of a 33-year-old male with a previous h...
