Hemorrhoidal disease results from the pathological enlargement and distal displacement of the upper hemorrhoidal plexus. This disorder is very widespread in modern industrial society. Hereditary predisposition, malnutrition with constipation and abnormal bowel habits seem to be the most relevant causes for pathogenesis. The exact classification of hemorrhoids according to the degree of prolapse as well as the correct evaluation of accompanying anal diseases are very important in order to choose the appropriate conservative or surgical treatment with the goal of long-term avoidance of recurrence.

[Perianal dermatitis and its benign simulants].

Perianal dermatitis is one of the most common proctological disorders. Concerning the etiology, three different types of dermatitis must be distinguished-the most common irritative contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis. The correct diagnosis is essential for adequate and successful treatment. A variety of benign and malignant disorders must be considered in the differential diagnosis of anal dermatitis. Dermatitic clinical disorders which do not respond to therapy should always be biopsied.
