Cloacogenic carcinoma also known as basaloid squamous cell carcinoma is a rare anorectal tumor presenting with varied histomorphology. In this case report, we describe a case of 58-year-old man presenting with bleeding per rectum and pain. A polypoidal tumor was noted in anal canal which on microscopy was diagnosed to be cloacogenic carcinoma with transitional carcinoma-like, basaloid and mucinous patterns. An unusual finding in the present case was the presence of signet ring cells in the mucinous areas. A thorough knowledge of the wide histomorphological spectrum of the tumor and a limited IHC panel are crucial for the diagnosis. Here, we also present a review of literature and describe in detail the origin and histopathological features of the tumor.

Background/aim: Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is an intraepithelial invasion of the perianal skin that is frequently associated with anorectal carcinoma. Rectal canal carcinoma with Pagetoid spread (PS) is a relatively rare disease, and few reports on its outcomes are available. The relatively rare nature of this disease makes the development of treatment recommendations difficult.

Introduction: Perineal hernias, protrusions through the pelvic diaphragm, are a rare complication post-abdominoperineal resection. The shift to extralevator APR techniques could be linked to a potential increase in these hernias. This case series evaluates the surgical management of perineal hernias, focusing on the evolving role of robotic surgery.

The initial evaluation and workup of anal canal cancer and perianal cancer is the same, but treatment strategies differ based on stage and location of disease. Chemoradiation remains the cornerstone of treatment for anal canal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), while surgery is typically reserved for persistent or recurrent disease. Perianal SCC can be treated with local excision for early stage disease (T1N0, select T2N0) or chemoradiation for later stages.

Background: Treatment options for T1/2N0M0 anal squamous cell carcinoma include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, and local excision, although the optimal treatment method has not been determined.
Methods: The National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology and Results database was used to search and screen 1465 patients with cT1/2N0M0 anal squamous cell carcinoma who were clinically diagnosed between 2004 and 2016. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.

(1) : The laparoscopic approach to low pelvic tumors is challenging and hindered by suboptimal tumor visualization and dissection, with possible oncological failure. Stereotactic navigation provides real-time image guidance that may optimize safety, accuracy, and precision when dissecting challenging low pelvic tumors. (2) Preoperative CT images were acquired with eight skin-fixed fiducials and loaded into a navigation system.
