Summary:The authors report on a case of anorectal tuberculosis. Revealed by an hemorroïdal thrombosis with febrile symptoma and purulent discharge, its macroscopic aspect was the one of anal mucous membrane ulceration, irregular with elevated border. The diagnosis was confirmed by anatomopathologic exam. The course was favourable under specific treatment. Etiologic investigation did not show any other localisation. Then, present aspects of anorectal tuberculosis are discussed, as well as possible relationships with hemorroïdal disease and its complications, particularly the fissural ones.
