Core Tip	Perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (PFCD) is a challenging phenotype of inflammatory bowel disease. Treatment strategies for the management of this condition should focus on a patient-centred approach to care. Many gaps remain in the literature surrounding PFCD, especially regarding surveillance for anorectal malignancies. Available evidence related to PFCD should be leveraged to form the foundation of ongoing research in this field.
