granular cell tumor (gct) was first described by abrikossoff in 1926. gct is a rarely seen soft tissue tumor and is generally benign. while the tumor can be seen in all parts of the body it is generally located on the head and neck region, and especially on the tongue. gct is rarely seen in the anal-perianal region. in accordance with literature this case was reported because it was thought to ...

INTRODUCTION Malignancies of the anal margin and perianal skin are relatively uncommon, and account for approximately 2% to 3% of all anorectal malignancies. Despite the fact that gastrointestinal presentation of lymphoma is not uncommon, primary localization of mantle cell lymphoma to the perianal region is rare. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 64-year-old Turkish man with a rapid...

To the Editor, Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common cutaneous malignancies. Although it constitutes 75% of non-melanoma cutaneous malignancies, it develops in the perianal region in less than 1% of cases (1,2). Even though histopathologic findings of BCC developing in the perianal region are similar to those of BCC seen in other regions, perianal cancers behave much more aggress...

UNLABELLED A case of a 45 year-old woman who presented with a perianal fistula was reported. Histologically, the excised lesion showed features of apocrine fibroadenoma. In addition, the lesion had both glandular and stromal growth patterns and active chronic inflammation in the background. Malignant or benign counterparts of these types of lesions are widely described in literature. However fi...

This case report describes a 7-year-old male cocker spaniel dog with multiple perianal infundibular follicular cysts. Clinically the dog had moderate anal sacculitis, peri-anal pruritus causing it to 'scoot' and lick the area. On examination of the perianal area, there were over 100 firm, well circumscribed papules, ranged from 0.2 to 0.5 cm in diameter with a central pore, and were found in th...

Median raphe cysts present anywhere between the external urethral meatus and the anus. The cysts can occur at parameatus, glans penis, penile shaft, scrotum, or perineum. Perianal region is an extremely rare location for these lesions. Here we present a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a cystic, fluctuant lesion, located at 12 o'clock in perianal region. Microscopic examination revea...

One hundred and thirty nine canine perineal tumours were histologically evaluated. The vast majority (134 tumours = 96.4%) appeared to originate from the characteristic glandular structures of this region. They were classified as well differentiated perianal gland tumours (58.3%), as moderately or poorly differentiated perianal gland tumours (21.6%) and as carcinomas without perianal gland diff...

Perianal, perineal, vulval, and vaginal swabs from women attending an antenatal clinic were quantitatively cultured for group B streptococci using Islam's medium. The isolation rates from the four sites were very similar with an overall carriage rate of 21%. The findings suggest that the type II strains, a faecal flora, probably colonise the perianal site from a faecal source, and that the type...
