Abstract

Premalignant and malignant lesions of the anal margin are rare. Understanding anal anatomy and performing a biopsy of any suspicious lesions are essential in avoiding a delay in diagnosis and appropriately treating these tumors. Wide local excision continues to remain the treatment of choice for many of these lesions. Combined multimodality treatment has come to play an important role in managing patient with more advanced or metastatic disease.

Keywords: Anus neoplasms; Bowen's disease; Paget's disease; squamous cell cancer.
