Core Tip	We present a case of an immuno-competent patient with perianal tuberculosis (TB) and active pulmonary TB (APTB). In our literature review of 58 cases of perianal TB, we found that the duration of persistent perianal lesions was much longer in patients without APTB than in those with APTB (66.4 mo vs 8.3 mo; confidence interval, 0.0760-0.9620; P = 0.0380). In cases of non-healing or recurrent perianal lesions, the diagnosis of TB should be considered and culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and histologic examination should be conducted.
