title: [Cloacogenic carcinoma].
abstract: Four cases of cloacogenic carcinoma (CC) observed between 1982 and 1987 out of 175 operations performed in the same period for anorectal tumors are reported. All the patients underwent abdominoperineal resection; 3 of them are still alive at 16.30 and 42 months from surgery respectively. The fourth died for neoplastic diffusion after 12 months. Epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features of this rare tumor are discussed.
