The perianal skin lesion was excised with a margin of 1 cm or more (Fig. 2b and c), and simple closure was challenging. The bulbar urethra was pulled out from the perineum to secure a urethral stump (Fig. 2d). The pathological results revealed that the surgical margin was negative. The tumor cells of the anal canal had nuclei with a high nuclear cytoplasmic ratio and infiltrative proliferation with compact nests (Fig. 3a) and were positive for CD56, chromogranin A and synaptophysin. The majority were NEC, and only a few were tubular adenocarcinoma. The Ki-67 labeling index was greater than 70%. The tumor cells of the perianal skin lesions were adenocarcinoma and had no NEC features and were negative for chromogranin A and synaptophysin and positive for CK20 and CDX2 (Fig. 3b–d). In addition, sphincter infiltration and inguinal lymph node metastasis were observed. Accordingly, a diagnosis of anal canal NEC with PS, inguinal lymph node metastasis and sphincter infiltration was made. Although debridement and local flap was required 17 days after the operation because necrosis was observed in a part of the flap, the course after that was generally good. The patient was discharged 42 days postoperatively. At the 7-month follow-up after resection, the patient did not show any recurrence. (a) The tumor cells with a high nuclear cytoplasmic ratio nuclei proliferated with compact nests in the anal canal (×100); (b) the tumor cells did not show neuroendocrine differentiation and were only components of tubular adenocarcinoma in the perianal lesions (×200); (c, d) The tumor cells were positive for CK20 and CDX2, respectively (×100).

DISCUSSION NEC is present in only approximately 1% of anal canal malignant tumors [3]. To the best of our knowledge, there have been very few reports of PS associated with anal canal carcinoma and only one report of anal canal NEC [4]. Therefore, treatment strategies for anal canal NEC remain unclear due to its rarity, especially for those with PS. Aytac et al. reported on the prognosis and treatment of 25 cases of NEC of the colon, rectal and anal canal.

Sharon Dlhosh, Sujay Pathak, Naomi Cutler, Sara Mixter, Holly Dahlman, and others Availability/Duration: Available year-round, every half-quarter Prerequisite(s): At least the Medicine Core Clerkship is required; 2-3 clerkships, including Medicine, Pediatrics, or Women’s Health preferred. Drop Period: 1 month Description: The Advanced Ambulatory Clerkship combines patient care experience in an outpatient primary care practice with additional experiences in the JH Bayview Geriatric Clinics, Memory Clinic, and Home Care visits. In their assigned outpatient primary care practice, students will work directly under the supervision of one (or more) preceptors in the field of General Internal Medicine or Family Practice. There is a curriculum of online modules that provides background in a number of topics that are relevant to primary and preventive care. Each student learns fundamental broad topics necessary to assess and provide care for adult patients along the continuum of aging.
