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
FISTULAINANO = 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 + icepack + Instillagel + laxative
No role for surgery
ANATOMY:

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)

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)

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
Hartmanns
= sigmoid colectomy with colostomy (stoma formation)
Panproctocolectomy

Stoma formation:
Elective or emergency
Decision depends on:
location of resection
indication for operation
patient comorbidities
patient lifestyle/preference
Management of rectal cancer

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

fibroadenosis, but usually with history oftrauma to the area (RF = obesity)
Cysts
Fluid-filled lump that may associate with fibroadenosis
Perimenopause (35–50y)

(NICE guidelines above)
Mx: reassurance, NSAIDs/paracetamol, tamoxifen
Paget’s disease of nipple:
rare spread of intraductal carcinomared, itchy, scaly areolaDDx: eczemaIx: 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
