Carcinoma of the anus is a rare tumor when skin tumors which may have arisen from the perianal skin are excluded. A significant proportion of anal carcinomas, exclusive of those from perianal skin, may very well have their origin from the intermediate zone of transitional epithelium and its and ducts, which would account for the different histological patterns presented by these cancers. These tumors are frequently described as of low grade malignancy and indeed some of them may be; but, the majority behave as very aggressive carcinomas, capable not only of rapid and extensive local invasion but also capable of lymph node metastasis. The treatment should be surgical and aggressive if operation is feasible.
