Extramammary Paget’s Disease Manifested by Intraepithelial Adenocarcinoma of the Vulva and Anus Combined with Invasive Adenocarcinoma of the Ampullary Part of the Rectum

The Object of the Study: The author of the given paper describes an unusual combination of two diseases: extramammary Paget’s disease manifested by intraepithelial adenocarcinoma of the vulva and anus combined with invasive adenocarcinoma of the ampullary part of the rectum and describes the atypical manifestations of these diseases. The Content: The content of this research paper includes a description of the patient, an analysis of the clinical picture, diagnostic methods and therapeutic interventions used, a report of the following disease, and the result of the presented case. The Result of the Research Work: The result of the research work is the analysis of a clinical case with two different tumors, where such a combination of tumors is rarely described in the literature. Moreover, no large specific sample with this combination of diseases is available. Patient Characteristics: The given case report describes a patient of the Palliative Care Unit of the Gerontology Clinic with a primary diagnosis of C20-rectal adenocarcinoma in the background of the anal canal, perineal skin Paget’s disease, stage IV. The presented complications of the patient’s primary diagnosis are multiple metastases in the liver;status post palliative chemotherapy;hepatomegaly;metastases to abdominal lymph nodes, inguinal lymph nodes;metastases at Th12, L4 level;pain syndrome. The presented above combination of diagnosed diseases is very rare. Applied Diagnostics: In October 2021, it was performed diagnostic manipulation: biopsy and the pathologist have provided a microscopic description. The first tissue fragment had a pronounced electrothermal lesion and the epithelial structures were not valuable. The second skin tissue fragment was covered with hyperplastic and acanthotic epithelium;its basal and middle layers contained multiple large cells proliferates extending into the medial epidermis, and the cytoplasm of these cells reacted positively with PAS (Periodic Acid Schiff reaction). It needs to be noted that the patient had previously had several years of biopsies from the perineal and anal epidermis, where Paget’s disease had also been diagnosed. The performed immunohistochemistry showed these cells to be CK20 positive, CK7 rare positive and p16 negative. The following pathohistological findings were made: morphological and immunohistochemical picture is consistent with Paget’s disease. According to the ICD-10, the patient was diagnosed with C51 malignant neoplasm of the female external genitalia. Using imaging diagnostics, it became clear that the patient’s rectal adenocarcinoma had progressed to metastatic stage with distant liver metastases in the background of anal canal, perineal skin Paget’s disease. Therapeutic Plan of the Patient: Based on the patient’s main diagnoses, the complications of the principal diagnosis, the patient’s overall severe condition, pain syndrome, age and comorbidities, palliative chemotherapy was approved as a therapeutic option in council of doctors. Monitoring and Outcome of the Patient: The patient’s general condition was becoming worse over time, and she was diagnosed with exitus latalis in December 2022. At that time, the patient was discharged from hospital and was on palliative care at home under the control of her family physician.

Education of Parents When a Child Born with an Imperforate Anus;Does It Improve the Health of the Child?

Objectives: To describe and investigate the value of an education program for parents of children born with an imperforate anus in order to help them cope with the new situation of having a stoma. A comparison is made with a group of parents following routine hospital. A secondary aim was to illuminate the parents’ feelings and concerns in the first month after the birth of the child. Subjects and methods: The program was tested in 20 Vietnamese mothers of babies born with an imperforate anus;10 followed an intervention comprising an education program and 10 the ordinary routine hospital. The study design is both qualitative and quantitative. The mothers were interviewed, using open-ended questions, within a week of their child’s birth and then repeatedly for up to one month. Finally, the conditions of children were accessed on their return to the hospital for the second operation after one month of care at home. The qualitative data were subjected to content analysis. Results: All mothers felt sad and worried in the beginning, but this quickly changed to confidence, particularly among mothers in the intervention group who received education. While at home, mothers in both groups had financial concerns, as they were unable to work as much as expected and also had to buy equipment for colostomy care. The mothers in the control group complained about a lack of knowledge and how it affected the care of their child. The mothers in the intervention group, however, felt confident in their caring even at home. When the families returned for the second operation, the children in the intervention group were significantly healthier, had increased more in weight, and had fewer complications and emergency return visits to hospital compared to the control group. In the control group skin problems around the stoma, diarrhea, bleeding or constipation while at home were reported (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The education improved the care at home resulting in healthier children and more confident parents.

OBSERVATION ON THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE IN 206 CASES WITH POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATION OF ANUS AND INTESTINE

The authors have treated postoperative complication of anus and intestine by usingacupuncture at main point Chengshan(BL 57) with cool-producing needling manipulation. Therapeuticeffects of the treatment on postoperative severe pain, retention of urine, constipation, and bleedingwere observed clinically. Results indicated that the cure rate was 97. 6 % and the total effective ratewas 100%. Strong stimulation of Chengshan(BL 57) point improved mainly postoperative edema,spasm, local edema. The improvement of hyperemia and spasm is a ma jor factor of curing various postoperative complication of the anus and intestine. The therapeutic method has advantages of using lesspoints, rapidly producing effects, shorter therapeutic course, suffering little for patients, and no sideeffect.

Neurostimulation for fecal incontinence after correction of repair of imperforate anus

We are reporting the case of a 32-year-old female who had suffered from fecal incontinence(FI). She was born with an imperforate anus and a recto-vaginal fistula; she underwent repair at 6 mo of age. At 29 years of age, she was still fecally incontinent despite extensive pelvic floor reeducation. A magnetic resonance imaging and an anal electromyography were performed. Because her symptoms were considered to be probably due to extra-sphincteric implantation of the neo-anus, a redo was performed of the recto-neo-anal intra-sphincteric anastomosis. A neurostimulator device was subsequently implanted for persistent incontinence. Solid and liquid FI resolved, and her quality of life improved markedly. Combining surgery to correct the position of the neo-anus within the anal sphincter complex and neurostimulation could thus become a new approach in cases of refractory FI for patients with imperforate anus as a newborn. Follow-up into adulthood after pediatric imperforate anus surgery should be recommended for adult patients with persistent FI.

THE FACTORS AND TREATMENT OF LOCAL RECURRENCE AFTER RADICAL RESECTION RESERVING THE ANUS IN THE PATIENTS WITH RECTAL CANCER

Of seventy-one patients with rectal cancer after radical resection retaining the anus, 15 developed local recurrence with a recurrence rate of 21.1%. Local recurrence was correlated with improper safety margin from the lower edge of cancer to the anal end. There was statistical significant difference between 3 cm or more and 2 cm or less. The local recurrence was also related to the pathologic stage, histologic differentiation and implant of free cancer cells. It is suggested that the surgical indication of saving the anus be strict and without stretching, the safety margin from the lower edge of cancer to the anal end should not be less than 2 cm in early rectal cancer and not less than 4 cm in advanced lesions. During the operation, no touching tumor technique, thorough rinsing of the peritoneal cavity and pre- or post-operative radiotherapy are important for prevention of local recurrence. Early local recurrent rectal cancer can be detected by periodic examinations.

Non-Operative Management of Pilonidal Sinuses Located Around Anus

Aim: Pilonidal disease is generally located at sacrococcygeal region whereas it is rarely located near anus. The aim of this study is to discuss the results of crystallized phenol application that we performed for patients with sinus pilonidalis located near anus with 95% success rate. Patients and Methods: Patients admitted between 2005 to 2011 with sinuses located in 2 cm range of anus or were primarily located up to 2 cm to the anal verge were enrolled in the study. Patients’ demographic features, Body Mass Index (BMI), family history, skin color, hair thickness, number of sinus openings, and the status of the sinus (acute vs. chronic) were recorded. Crystallized phenol was applied into the sinus. The pa tients were followed-up after recovery during the first 6 months and annually afterwards. Results: A total of 25 sinus pilonidalis cases located near anus were encountered. All patients were male;crystallized phenol application was per formed on all patients a total of 115 times. The mean number of applications was 5.6 (between 4 and 8 times). The mean recovery period was 74.5 days (range: 31 - 154) and the mean follow-up period was 36.16 months (range: 18 - 48). No surgical intervention was required. Conclusion: Sinus pilonidalis cases located in perianal region can be successfully treated with the crystallized phenol application which is a simple and inexpensive method, that can easily be performed in an outpatient setting.

Long-term outcome of stem cell transplantation with and without anti-tumor necrotic factor therapy in perianal fistula with Crohn’s disease

BACKGROUND Stem cell transplantation is a promising therapeutic option for curing perianal fistula in Crohn’s disease(CD).Anti-tumor necrotic factor(TNF)therapy combined with drainage procedure is effective as well.However,previous studies are limited to proving whether the combination treatment of biologics and stem cell transplantation improves the effect of fistula closure.AIM This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of stem cell transplantation and compare Crohn’s perianal fistula(CPF)closure rates after stem cell transplantation with and without anti-TNF therapy,and to identify the factors affecting CPF closure and recurrence.METHODS The patients with CD who underwent stem cell transplantation for treating perianal fistula in our institution between Jun 2014 and December 2022 were enrolled.Clinical data were compared according to anti-TNF therapy and CPF closure.RESULTS A total of 65 patients were included.The median age of females was 26 years(range:21-31)and that of males was 29(44.6%).The mean follow-up duration was 65.88±32.65 months,and complete closure was observed in 50(76.9%)patients.The closure rates were similar after stem cell transplantation with and without anti-TNF therapy(66.7%vs 81.6%at 3 year,P=0.098).The patients with fistula closure had short fistulous tract and infrequent proctitis and anorectal stricture(P=0.027,0.002,and 0.008,respectively).Clinical factors such as complexity,number of fistulas,presence of concurrent abscess,and medication were not significant for closure.The cumulative 1-,2-,and 3-year closure rates were 66.2%,73.8%,and 75.4%,respectively.CONCLUSION Anti-TNF therapy does not increase CPF closure rates in patients with stem cell transplantation.However,both refractory and non-refractory CPF have similar closure rates after additional anti-TNF therapy.Fistulous tract length,proctitis,and anal stricture are risk factors for non-closure in patients with CPF after stem cell transplantation.

Hailey-Hailey disease with lichenoid lesions around the anus

To the Editor: Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), first discovered by the brothers Howard and Hugh Hailey,[1]is a genodermatosis at intertriginous sites. Mutation of ATP2C1 on chromosome 3q21-2 coding a calciumdependent ATPase gives rise to calcium dysfunction within keratinocytes, resulting in acantholysis due to a signal transduction disorder.[2] It has been suggested that this gene mutation combined with irritation such as frequent friction, cold, and ultraviolet exposure leads to the development of HHD.[3]

Neonatal colon perforation due to anorectal malformations: Can it be avoided?

Anorectal malformations (ARM) are common anomalies in neonates. Diagnostic and therapeutic delays in the management of ARM may lead to colonic perforation, and even death. Physical examination of the perineum is often sufficient to diagnose ARM in neonates. Notwithstanding, delayed diagnosis of ARM has become increasingly familiar to surgeons, as evidenced by the number of recent publications on this topic in the literature. In this commentary, we discuss spontaneous colonic perforation due to delayed diagnosis of ARM in neonates, and highlight the importance of early diagnosis in assuring good outcomes with surgical management. At this point, a thorough examination of the perineum during the initial newborn assessment is mandatory, particularly in those patients presenting with abdominal signs or symptoms.

Anal carcinoma in giant anal condyloma, multidisciplinary approach necessary for optimal outcome:Two case reports and review of literature

BACKGROUND Anal cancers are caused by human papilloma virus(HPV). Buschke-Lowenstein tumor also known as giant anal condyloma(GCA) is a variant of giant neglected anal tumors arising from warts caused by HPV infection. HPV are a family of double-stranded DNA viruses and primarily cause sexually transmitted disease of the genitalia and oropharyngeal mucosa. These tumors are slow growing;locally destructive large verrucous masses.CASE SUMMARY We present a series of two cases with large anal tumors harboring invasive cancers and highlight their presentation and management. Tumors with high risk HPV subtypes(HPV 16, 18, 31, 33) may progress into invasive squamous cell carcinoma(SCC). Untreated GCA can attain enormous size and extend into the pelvic organs and bony structures. Some tumors show malignant degeneration into SCC and are often difficult to diagnose given the large size of the tumors.Complete surgical excision with negative margins is the treatment of choice and necessary to prevent recurrence. This is often not feasible and leaves large surgical wounds with tissue defects with delay in healing and increases postoperative morbidity. Pelvic reconstructive techniques including muscle flaps and grafts are often necessary to close the defects. Human immunodeficiency virus and immunocompromised patients generally do poorly with standard treatments.CONCLUSION A multidisciplinary team of colorectal and plastic surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists along with combination treatment modalities are necessary when malignant transformation occurs in GCA, for optimal outcomes.

Human papillomavirus-related squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal with papillary features

Human papillomavirus(HPV)related squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)involving the anal canal is a well-known carcinoma associated with high-risk types of HPV.HPVrelated SCC with papillary morphology(papillary SCC)has been described in the oropharynx.We describe,for the first time,a case of anal HPV-related squamous carcinoma with papillary morphology.The tumor arose from the anal mucosa.The biopsies revealed a superficially invasive SCCwith prominent papillary features and associated in situ carcinoma.The tumor cells were positive for p16 and were also positive for high-risk types of HPV using chromogenic in situ hybridization.The findings are consistent with a HPV-related SCC of the anal canal with papillary features.This tumor shows histologic features similar to a papillary HPV-related SCC of the oropharynx.Additional studies are needed to characterize these lesions.

Manometric asymmetry of the anal sphincter: anatomic evidence and clinical application

Background Manometric pressure asymmetry of the anal sphincter exists in the anal canal. There are reports about the anatomy of the anal sphincter, but the relationship between the configuration and the pressure asymmetry of the anal sphincter is not clear. This study is to investigate the anatomic evidence and clinical application of anal sphincter pressure asymmetry. Methods PC polygram HR at the state of relaxing and squeezing was used in 27 normal children and 12 abnormal ones with fecal incontinence. Results In normal children, longitudinal pressure gradients existed at eight channels in the anal canal, and the maximal pressure I cm from the anal verge. Longitudinal pressure asymmetry changes of eight channels also existed in the anal canal, from 3 cm to 2 cm to I cm from the anal verge. The high pressure distribution changed from the posterior to the anterior anal canal. Anteriorly, 1 cm from the anal verge, the maximal pressure was formed in the anal canal. However, neither longitudinal pressure gradients nor longitudinal pressure asymmetry changes were seen in patients with fecal incontinence. Conclusion The configuration and function of the striated muscle complex possibly contribute to the formation of the pressure asymmetry of the anal sphincter, which is essential to anal control.
