Epidermoid carcinoma of the anorectum

Abstract

Thirty-one cases of epidermoid carcinoma found in 106 cases of carcinoma of the rectum and anal canal are reviewed. Clinical presentation and management are presented. Probable factors in the greater than usual incidence of epidermoid carcinomas of the anorectum are discussed. Indications for radiation therapy, local excision, and abdominoperineal and inguinal block dissection are presented.
