[Anal metastases from cancer of the colon].
Two cases of anal metastases from sigmoid carcinoma are reported. The two patients were treated by local excision. The various mechanisms of tumoral spread are discussed from a review of the literature; the most frequent mechanism is cellular exfoliation. The most commonly used therapeutic approach is local excision combined, if necessary, with reconstruction of the sphincters.
