ABSTRACT
A myolipoma is an extremely rare benign neoplasm, occurring most frequently in adults in the deep soft tissue of the abdomen or retroperitoneum. We experienced a case of an anal myolipoma occurring in a 30-year-old woman, and it was surgically resected. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a myolipoma arising from the anus, so such a possibility needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Twenty five patients with moderate to severe anal stenosis were treated with sliding skin graft during the period of time from April 1987 to March 1996. And a follow-up study was carried out on 18 cases among them. The original causes of the anal stenosis were previous necrotherapy in 14, hemouhoidectomy in 3, and cryotherapy in one. Postoperatively, partial disruption of the suture line developed in 2 cases and perianal fistula in one. Long term clinical results were good in 12 cases, fair in 4, and poor in 2. As a result, sliding skin graft is thought to be a simple and effective method for the treatment of moderate to severe anal stenosis.
