ABSTRACT
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the terminal follicular epithelium within the apocrine skin glands. When these lesions develop in the genital and perianal regions, there is a potential risk of progression to squamous cell carcinoma or mucinous adenocarcinoma. The tumor may appear in the perianal area, perineum, or buttocks. Here, we present a rare case of long-standing perianal HS with associated fistula-related mucinous adenocarcinoma and the challenges we faced in managing this condition.
