Rare case of an anorectal leiomyoma
2019
Introduction. Leiomyoma is a kind of benign tumors of smooth muscle origin,
occurring mostly throughout the genitourinary system. They are rarely found
in the anorectal region, where they represent less than 0.1% of the tumors of
the rectum. Due to this exceptional occurrence, we report a case of leiomyoma
arising in the anorectal region. Case outline. A forty-three years old
otherwise healthy woman presents with the big mass in analorectal region.
Major complain is pain and discomfort while sitting. Magnetic
resonanceimaging is done and pathohistology report confirmed large leiomyoma.
Abdominoperianeal resection of the rectum was performed due to the size of
the tumor. Postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion. There is no gold
standard technique, and decision about the best surgical approach for all
pathohistological types of tumors in the anorectal region. The decision
sometimes has to be made according to size and major complains.
