Description
Summary:We report a case of 62-year old women with skin infiltration in the perineal area after anterior rectal resection due to upper rectal cancer. Computed Tomography (CT) shows an intense infiltrative aspect of the lesion. The patient had a diffuse perineal infiltration predominantly at Levator Ani muscles and adhesions to the posterior parts of urinary bladder, uterus, vagina and perineal skin. The patient underwent surgery with colostomy to relieve the colonic tract due to obstruction and later was treated with chemo-radiation.
