RESUMO
This case involved a 28-year-old female with rectal cancer in the inner pelvis. Two courses of SOX plus Cmab therapy, and 4 courses of FOLFOX-Cmab therapy were administered as preoperative chemotherapies, which resulted in a reduction in the major lesion. Subsequently, laparoscopic low anterior resection and dissection of the bilateral lymph nodes were performed. After the surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX was administered. Afterwards, the patient developed severe anal pain and visited us for treatment. The severe anal pain continued even after FOLFOX treatment and increased with defecation. A side effect of oxaliplatin was suspected, and sLV5FU chemotherapy was administered. As a result, the anal pain disappeared. Thus, the pain was considered to be induced by oxaliplatin. While peripheral neuropathy is a widely known side effect of oxaliplatin, this case was considered to be unique because anal pain occurs very rarely with oxaliplatin treatment.
