Abstract:
A leiomyoma is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm that usually develops where smooth muscle is present. In this report, we present a rare case of perianal leiomyoma. The external anal sphincter was stretched over the surface of the leiomyoma and the internal anal sphincter was intact on surgery. It was confirmed as a deep soft-tissue leiomyoma on pathology. We describe the ultrasonographic and MRI findings of a rare case of perianal leiomyoma, together with differential diagnoses.

01:25Assessment of the Rectum and Anus
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.

01:19Appendicitis
Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...
