Perianal Rhabdomyosarcoma presenting post surgery for Hirschsprungs disease: A rare presentation
Keywords:
Cytopathology, Hirschsprung's, perianal, rhabdomyosarcomaAbstract
Perianal region is an uncommon site for Rhabdomyosarcoma. Early diagnosis is essential in these cases, as 25% of patients present with metastasis at the time of diagnosis. FNAC is simple and useful procedure for making an early diagnosis and helping clinicians for prompt intervention. Previously, a single case had been reported of rhabdomyosarcoma occuring 2 years after a surgery for hamartoma at the same site. Herein, we report a case of perianal rhabdomyosarcoma which occurred 5 years after a pull through procedure done for Hirschsprungs disease and this rare association has not been reported yet in literature.
