Perianal disease
Fistulae
DDx perianal lump:
∙ Abscess
∙ Pilonidal sinus
∙ Fistula-in-ano
∙ Anal fissure
∙ Sebaceous cyst
∙ Crohn’s disease
∙ Thrombosed external haemorrhoid
Anal canal
Rectum
Fig. 12.1
Conditions predisposing to fistula-in-ano:
• Crohn’s
• TB
• Diverticular disease
• Malignancy
DEFINITION: abnormal connection between 2 mucosal surfaces
TYPES:
Intrinsic: entero- enteric (SB–SB) / entero-colonic (SB–colon) / entero-vesical
(SB–bladder)
Extrinsic: entero-cutaneous (SB–skin) / entero-vaginal (SB–vagina) /
recto-vaginal etc.
SYMPTOMS:
To skin: discharging sinus or abscess
Bowel–bowel: nothing / diarrhoea / weight loss / pain
To bladder: pneumaturia, debris in urine, recurrent UTIs
To vagina: PV discharge
FISTULAINANO = tract between rectum / anal canal & skin
Symptoms: discharging tract + recurrent perianal infection
Investigations:
• Acute perianal pain: examination under anaesthetic (EUA)
• Chronic/complex presentation: MRI
Management:
1. Very superficial – watch and wait
2. Superficial/intersphincteric: lay open (fistulotomy) → ABX → leave to heal
by 2° intention
3. Higher level (involves external sphincter): ABX + seton suture drainage
Seton suture:
tightened to enable healing & closure
→ Infections commonly occur in anal crypts/glands
→ symptoms of fever, pain, swelling, discharge
SB = small bowel
piece of thread remains in fistula tract to keep it open & allow drainage → gradually
Conditions predisposing to anal fissure:
• Crohn’s
• Anal cancer
• HIV, HSV, syphilis
• Hard faeces
Perianal abscess
SYMPTOMS: red, sore, swollen lesion
(± discharge)
ASSOCIATIONS: Crohn’s, DM, malignancy, anal sex
MANAGEMENT: incision & drainage (under GA) → ABX → apply dressings
→ Aim to treat before ruptures & discharges to form fistula
Abscess usually contains gut organisms:
E. coli, bacteroides, enterococcus
Anal ssure
DEFINITION: tear in squamous lining of anal canal below dentate line
AETIOLOGY:
• 90% = posterior to anus
• 10% = anterior to anus
SYMPTOMS:
• Very painful → esp. defecating & for hours after (cannot tolerate PR exam)
• Bleeding on defecation (bright red)
• Constipation (avoid defecating due to pain)
• Pruritus ani
• Mucosal skin tag / sentinel pile
MANAGEMENT1:
1. Conservative: fluids & fibre, bulking laxatives, lubricants, topical analgesia
2. Fissures unresponsive to conservative measures: topical GTN cream for 6–8w
3. Unresponsive to medical management: EUA ± further management
→ Botox or sphincterotomy = last resort

Haemorrhoids
DEFINITION: distension & prolapse of normal anal cushions
(masses of spongy, venous tissue)
CAUSES/AETIOLOGY:
• Idiopathic – weakened muscular wall with age
• Chronic constipation/straining (low fibre diet)
• Raised IAP (pregnancy, portal HTN, pelvic tumour)
CLINICAL PRESENTATION:
• Painless, bright red PR bleed (coats stool & dripping into pan)
• Itching
• Mucous discharge
→ If thrombosed: painful & tender, purple mass
Asymptomatic haemorrhoids
MANAGEMENT2:
1. Conservative: fluid & fibre, laxatives, topical analgesia, toileting advice
(correct position, avoid straining)
2. Non-operative: rubber band ligation / injectable sclerosants
3. Surgical: haemorrhoid artery ligation / haemorrhoidectomy
→ Management of acutely painful thrombosed haemorrhoid: analgesia +
icepack + Instillagel + laxative
↳ No role for surgery

European Society of ColoProctology (2020) Guideline for haemorrhoidal disease
Internal haemorrhoids = above dentate line
→ Epithelium: columnar
→ Venous drainage: portal system
→ Somatic innervation: none = painless
External haemorrhoids = below dentate line
→ Epithelium: squamous
→ Venous drainage: internal iliac
→ Somatic innervation: present = painful if
thrombosed or become irritated
Important questions to ask:
• How long?
• How much?
• Mixed with stool?
(above colon = usually mixed in)
• Pain?
• Altered bowel habits?
(compare to normal for the patient)
• FHX / personal Hx
→ check red flag symptoms

Colorectal cancer
↳ most = adenocarcinomas
Risk factors
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP):
Auto dominant mutation in APC gene
→ Hundreds of polyps
→ Presents at 35–45y (consider if <50y with
colorectal cancer)
→ Colonoscopy every 2y from 25 to 75y
HNPCC / Lynch syndrome:
Auto dominant mutation in DNA repair
genes
→ Cancers of colon, endometrium, ovary,
stomach, bladder, brain, skin
→ Presents >40y (consider if <50y with
colorectal cancer)
→ Colonoscopy every 2y from 25 to 75y
NB: non-polyposis condition (no polyps
present)
Amsterdam criteria to Dx
Bowel cancer screening programme3:
qFIT (quantifiable faecal immunochemical
test)
→ if >120mcg/g refer for colonoscopy to
remove any polyps
Every 2y from the age of 50y
May present as an acute emergency:
• Bowel obstruction
• Bowel perforation
• Extreme pain
• Polyps (UC, HNPCC, FAP) → identify & remove
• Age (90% are aged >50 y)
• Diet – low fibre, high fat, processed meat
• Smoking/alcohol/obesity
• IBD (UC especially)
• Genetics (FAP & HNPCC / Lynch syndrome)

→ colectomy + ‘en bloc’ lymph node removal ± chemotherapy
Different levels of resection: = location of tumour
Left hemicolectomy Right hemicolectomy
Anterior resection Abdominoperineal resection
Fig. 12.5
Sigmoid colectomy
Panproctocolectomy
MANAGEMENT OF OBSTRUCTING COLON CANCER: emergency
1. ABCDE
2. Analgesia + NG tube decompression
3. CT scan if no small bowel distension = competent ileocaecal valve = BAD
4. Endoscopic stenting or colectomy (often with stoma) → colectomy type
depends on obstruction location
Lymph drainage:
→ Ascending & transverse drain to superior
mesenteric LNs
→ Descending & sigmoid drain to inferior
mesenteric LNs
→ Rectum (above pectinate line) to internal
iliac LNs
Hartmann’s
= sigmoid colectomy with colostomy
(stoma formation)
Panproctocolectomy
= if synchronous cancer or inflammatory bowel
disease
Stoma formation:
Elective or emergency
Decision depends on:
• location of resection
• indication for operation
• patient comorbidities
• patient lifestyle/preference
Management of rectal cancer
6
1. Total mesorectal excision (removal of rectum)
• Low tumours <5cm above anus: abdominoperineal excision
(resect + stoma)
• Higher tumours >5cm from anus: anterior resection
(resect + anastomosis)
2. ± Chemotherapy ± radiotherapy
Colorectal cancer follow-up
Follow-up for 5y post-surgery
1. CEA – check every 6m
2. CT CAP – annually
3. Colonoscopy – at 1 & 5y

Pathogenesis Benign overgrowth of
breast lobule
Who? <30y
May grow in pregnancy
Presentation
Management 1. Reassurance
→ firm, smooth, solid

→ highly mobile =
‘breast mice’
→ usually painless
2. Surgical excision if
large (>4cm)
1/3 regress, 1/3 stay
same, 1/3 grow
fibrocystic change
Localised fibrosis,
inflammation & cyst

Between menarche &
menopause
Most common breast
lump
→ lumpy breasts
→ may be mobile or fixed
→ cyclical pain/swelling
1. Reassurance
± Anti-inflammatories
± Hormone manipulation
Fat necrosis: similar presentation to
fibroadenosis, but usually with history
oftrauma to the area (RF = obesity)
Cysts
Fluid-filled lump that
may associate with
fibroadenosis
Perimenopause
(35–50y)
→ rounded lump
→ mobile
→ occasionally painful
1. Reassurance
2. US-guided
drainage (FNA)
3. Surgical removal if
large
When to refer mastalgia for triple assessment:
1. Pain not responsive to 3m of initial medical
management
2. If any breast cancer red flags present
(NICE guidelines above)
→ Mx: reassurance, NSAIDs/paracetamol,
tamoxifen
Paget’s disease of nipple:
→ rare spread of intraductal carcinoma
→ red, itchy, scaly areola
→ DDx: eczema
→ Ix: biopsy
Risk factors for breast carcinoma:
Genetic (FHx): BRCA +ve = 25% of risk
Environmental: = 75% of risk
• early menarche / late menopause
• nullip / late age of 1st child
• not breastfeeding
• HRT
• obesity, smoking
Oestrogen
exposure
Breast carcinoma
CLASSIFICATION: → can be ductal or lobular
1. Non-invasive / in situ (5%) = not breached basement membrane
2. Invasive (85%) = breached basement membrane
Invasive ductal carcinoma = most common (70%)
CLINICAL PRESENTATION:
• Breast lump: hard & irregular →
fixed/tethered
• Palpable lymph nodes
• Nipple discharge / retraction ± Paget’s
disease rash
• Overlying skin changes – peau d’orange
(dimpling)
• Metastatic symptoms: bone, lung,
brain, liver, ovaries
INVESTIGATIONS: triple assessment
1. Clinical examination
2. Imaging → <35y = USS (tissue too dense for mammography)
→ >35y = mammography (+USS if abnormal)
3. Histology/cytology:
→ FNAC if cystic
→ Core biopsy if solid (can grade tumour)
Prevalence & prognosis
Breast cancer = very common
(1 in 8 women)
15% breast cancers = HER2 +ve
70% breast cancers = ER +ve
Best prognosis → Worst prognosis
ER +ve → HER2 → Triple –ve
If USS of axilla shows lymph
involvement then core biopsy of
nodes

Management of breast carcinoma
2
1. NEOADJUVANT TREATMENT
• NACT (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) for any receptor status
• NAET (neoadjuvant endocrine therapy) if ER +ve
e.g. tamoxifen, anastrozole
• NATT (neoadjuvant targeted therapy) if HER2 +ve
e.g. Herceptin (trastuzumab)
2. PRIMARY TREATMENT
• Surgery to the breast – mastectomy or wide local excision ±
oncoplastic/reconstruction procedures
• Surgery to the axilla – sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) ± axillary lymph
node dissection (ALND)
• Primary endocrine therapy if elderly / more frail
3. ADJUVANT TREATMENT → reduces recurrence
• Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy (see
examples in neoadjuvant treatment)
4. TREATMENT OF METASTATIC DISEASE → depends on location of mets
• If solitary node = consider surgery
• Symptomatic relief = radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy
Management depends on:
1. TNM stage (including size)
2. Location of lump
3. If lump is uni- or multifocal
4. HER2 / ER receptor status
5. Patient health & preference
6. Family history of breast cancer
Indications for neoadjuvant treatment:
• Reduce size of inoperable tumours
• Reduce size to allow breast conservation
• In inflammatory breast cancer
• Temporary contraindications to surgery
• Preparation to allow new drug testing
SLNB = dye injected into areolar area
to identify drainage to sentinel node
→ biopsy to assess spread
Breast cancer recurrence
Recurrence usually occurs in first 5y following treatment
→ Needs reassessment & discussion with MDT to decide most appropriate
management plan
NB: risk of recurrence s with size of tumour & LN involvement
Must closely monitor patients for symptoms of recurrence:
• New lump in breast/axilla
• Constant arm/chest/shoulder pain
• Bone pain, weak/numbness, cough/SOB
