Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the anal canal accounts for about 20% of all anal canal
cancers. It is subclassified into two types. (1) Colorectal type, which arises
from the mucosa above dentate line and (2) extramucosal type, which includes
adenocarcinoma arising in anorectal fistulae and adenocarcinoma arising from
anal glands. Anal gland adenocarcinomas are extremely rare. In this article, we
present two cases of anal adenocarcinoma, one colorectal type, and other anal
gland carcinoma along with review of literature.
