Core Tip	Anal pruritus is a common anorectal symptom that can significantly impair a patient’s quality of life. Endoscopists should be aware of the possible etiologies, including anorectal diseases and anal or colorectal cancer. Classifications of anal pruritus are based on the abnormalities of the perianal skin. It is important to carry out a proper digital anorectal examination and an anoscopy in these patients.
