We describe the diagnosis and management of a patient with a progressively enlarging, non-healing ischiorectal wound.

Anal Adenocarcinoma is a rare condition that can arise from chronic inflammatory states. Treatment requires an abdomino-perineal resection with neoadjuvant therapy, and the goal of surgery is to achieve clear resection margins.
