ABSTRACT


Introduction: Fibroadenomas are the most frequent breast tumors in women. However, their location in the anogenital region is extremely rare.

Case Report: We present a case of a perianal fibroadenoma in a young woman. It was necessary the surgical treatment to reach a definitive diagnosis.

Conclusion: It’s important to highlight the glandular mammary-like tissue present in the perianal region as the origin of different lesions, in order to make an adequate differential diagnosis.

Keywords: Apocrine, Fibroadenoma, Perianal pain
