Pathological types 1-Squamous cell carcinoma (30%): • In relation to perianal warts ,HIV or long standing fistula in ano. 2- Basaloid carcinoma • Cloacogenic carcinoma • Non keratinized squamous cell carcinoma 3- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
4-Basal cell carcinoma 5- Melanoma • Very poor prognosis 6- Lymphoma 7- Kaposi tumour 8-Paget's disease
Clinical picture • Symptoms: 1-Rectal bleeding 2-Mucous discharge 3-Tenesmus 4-Sensation of a lump in the anus 5-Mass in the inguinal region
Signs • Rectal examination • Ulcer: hard ,tender and easily bleeds • The lesion may fungate to the perianal skin or may induce anal fistula

Treatment 1- At the anal verge • Local excision with 2.5 cm safety margin • -Inguinal lymph node block dissection if there is lymph node metastasis
2- At the anal canal • Chemo-radiation • combination of chemotherapy (5.FU+mitomycin) and radiotherapy (interstitial or intracavitary) • If inguinal lymph node is involved block inguinal lymph node dissection. • Curative or help in downstaging • Abdomino perineal excision in: 1- Tumour more than 5cm 2- Failed chemo-radiation
