Most of the anorectal abscesses result from acute in- fection of the anal glands extending from the anal crypts. Approximately 10% are due to other causes such as Crohn's disease, trauma, hematologic malignancies, human immunodeficiency virus, tuberculosis, actinomy- cosis, sexually transmitted diseases, radiation therapy, foreign body or anal surgery. Herein we present a rare case of perianal abscess developing as a complication of intracavitary administration of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) for bladder cancer. |
