“…Perianal cysts may be simple or complex cysts due to secondary infection or bleeding within the cyst seen arising in the perianal region of unknown etiology that may be due to the loss of communication during development between the anal glands and ducts, but in which the gland still preserves its secretory ability, thus creating a cyst, or due to failure of canalization of anal glands during embryogenesis [ 14 ].…”

IntroductionAnal pain is defined as pain originating from the anal canal or the perianal area that can be attributed to a variety of medical problems. The current study’s aim was to evaluate the role of combined endoanal, transperineal, and in married women, transvaginal ultrasound in clarifying the etiology of anal pain among our patient study group.MethodologyA total of 180 patients presented to our radiology department complaining of anal pain and were examined using transperineal, endoanal, and in women, transvaginal ultrasound aided with three-dimensional capability. The final diagnosis was reached, according to the surgical results and the histopathology reports in cases diagnosed with anorectal neoplasms and perianal masses.ResultsA total of 100 patients were diagnosed with perianal fistulas. Twenty-five cases presented with anal abscesses. In four cases, pilonidal sinus extended to the perianal spaces. Three cases had hiradenitis suppurativa, 13 cases showed occult anal sphincter defects, two cases had anorectal neoplasms, and one case was diagnosed with soft tissue ependymoma overlying the coccyx. Three cases were diagnosed with perianal soft tissue masses. One case was detected with recto vaginal fistulas, 10 cases showed thick internal anal sphincter, two cases had perianal cysts, and one case had perianal hematoma. Two cases showed hemorrhage in Douglas’ pouch, and one case had pelvic collection sequelae of perforated pelvic appendicitis. Three cases had pelvic endometriosis; one case was detected with missed contraceptive device in the rectum. Three cases were diagnosed with prostatitis and two cases with prostatic abscesses. Two cases had prostatic carcinoma and one case had prostatic sarcoma.ConclusionThe combined approaches of endoanal, transperineal, and in women, transvaginal ultrasound aided with three-dimensional capability proved highly valuable in clarifying the etiology of anal pain in our study group.

“…Diagnosis of anal gland cyst is based on the histological characteristics of mucus and/or the presence of a communication with the anal duct or crypt [ 5 ]. Based on these criteria, Kulaylat et al [ 5 ] suggested that some of the reported cases of mucus-secreting cysts occurring around the anorectum may prove to be anal gland/ducts in origin. The authors also think that cysts classified as mucus secretion cysts in past reports may be anal gland cysts.…”

Anal gland/duct cyst (AGC) is rare and observed in only 0.05% of patients undergoing anal surgery. AGC is thought to be a retention cyst in the anal gland and arises when an obstruction of the anal duct causes fluid collection in the anal gland. We report a case of AGC in a 66-year-old woman without anal symptoms. Found by colonoscopy, the AGC was excised transanally. The histopathology of the specimen confirmed AGC. Colonoscopists should include AGC in the differential diagnosis of anal canal mass and rule out of malignancy. Excision is recommended for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
