Abstract
Dear Editor,
Anal cancer represents 2 % of digestive tumors, with anal duct cancer making up fewer than 10 % of anal malignancies (1). This is a rare neoplasm of CK7 (+) cells from the anal ducts. Since its initial description by Hermann in 1880 (2), 5-year survival rates have been estimated around 5 %-40 % (3-5), and one reason for this poor prognosis is delayed diagnosis due to overlapping with benign conditions.
