À propos d'un cas de maladie de Verneuil compliquée d'un cancer étendu A case of extended squamous cell carcinoma complicating Verneuil disease

Aim: Verneuil disease is a chronic suppurative hidradenitis, which presents the risk of degeneracy, although it is rare. Patient: We report the case of a 57-year-old man who had chronic anal fistulas, developing for more than 20 years. We performed several excisions with lateral colostomy. He was lost to follow-up for 5 years, and then presented again with degeneracy, which was confirmed by anal biopsies. Conclusion: Verneuil disease requires regular monitoring to diagnose degeneracy on time. To cite this journal: J. Afr. Hepatol. Gastroenterol. 5 (2011).
