Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in chronic anorectal fistula: Clinical and MRI characteristics

A 54 years old Libyan man presented with a long history of perineal mass, induration and passage of pus and purulent secretion; sometimes mixed with blood. It became increasingly painful over a short period of a few days prior to presentation. He had had a fistula-in-ano for ten years treated surgically 8 years previously. His past medical history included type 1 diabetes mellitus. He underwent digital rectal examination under anesthesia which disclosed edematous external skin tags, with induration of the posterior margin of the anal canal, multiple biopsies and scrapings of the fistulous track were taken. Histological examination revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma. Colonoscopy was done and showed no abnormality. Clinical and MRI characteristics are illustrated and discussed.
