Squamous cell carcinoma arising in a chronic osteomyelitic sinus tract in the peri-anal region involving pelvis: a rare occurrence.
2014
Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare, but well documented complication of chronic osteomyelitis. Squamous cell carcinoma arising in a sinus tract following chronic osteomyelitis of the pelvic bone is a very rare occurrence. The patient presented with multiple draining sinuses and an ulcerative growth at the mouth of one of the sinuses in the peri-anal region. X-ray findings and sinogram showed de- struction of part of pubic bone. Biopsy from the growth confirmed a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore it is imperative that these lesions be biopsied for accurate diagnosis, adequate therapy and follow-up.
