Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Perianal hematomas are actually thrombi in external anal plexus vessels. Surgical excision of affected perianal skin and venous plexus is recommended for recurrent, painful episodes, suggesting a name change to "perianal thrombosis."

Area of Science:

  • Proctology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Recurrent perianal hematomas cause significant patient distress.
  • Previous treatments have often failed for these recurring conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To histologically analyze recurrent perianal lesions previously diagnosed as hematomas.
  • To propose a more accurate nomenclature and treatment strategy for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical excision of perianal lesions and adjacent skin (low hemorrhoidectomy) was performed on two patients.
  • Histological examination of the excised tissue was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Histology revealed the lesions were not hematomas but thrombi within the external anal plexus.
  • The thin-walled vessels of the external anal plexus were identified as the affected structures.

Conclusions:

  • The condition commonly referred to as perianal hematoma is histologically perianal thrombosis.
  • Surgical excision of the perianal skin and underlying venous plexus, preserving skin bridges, is indicated for recurrent cases.
  • Renaming the condition to "perianal thrombosis" is proposed for diagnostic clarity.
