title: Infantile Fistula-in-Ano: A Report of Two Patients and Review for Dermatologists.
abstract: Infantile fistula-in-ano is a well-known entity to pediatric surgeons but less recognized by dermatologists. Because these patients may initially present to a dermatologist or pediatric dermatologist, familiarity with the presentation is important. We present two infants with fistula-in-ano and review the literature on this condition.
