Abstract

We report a case of a perforated rectal adenocarcinoma presenting as Fournier's in the emergency department. CT findings in this case confirmed the clinical diagnosis, established the extent of disease, and suggested the presence of an underlying rectal neoplasm as the primary source of infection.
