The case highlights the need to include neoplastic diseases in the differential diagnosis of any potentially benign perianal abscess. A 36-year-old Asian woman, initially diagnosed with perianal abscess, ultrasound-guided needle biopsy confirmed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, and then the patient suffered from a sacrococcygeal tumor resection. A whole-body emission computer tomography scan was performed after the patient was discharged from the hospital, there was not show high expression of somatostatin receptors in the pleural cavity, abdominal cavity or pelvis. There was no evidence of metastatic disease and no systemic symptoms or signs of carcinoid. These results confirmed this was a primary presacral neuroendocrine tumor of level G2. The patient was advised to regularly follow-up with her physician and magnetic resonance imaging. |
