Abrikossoff's tumour: report of a rare case in anal perianal region.
The authors report a rare case of a 47-year old man suffered from Crohn's disease and depression with multiple prominent lesions in the anal and perianal region. The biopsy of these lesions showed the presence of Abrikossoff's tumour. This tumour is very rare in the anal region and usually the lesions are small (0.5-3 cm) and solitary. The authors report this case because they considered it an interesting case for the localization and the appearance of the lesions.
