Summary:Classification of this lesions could be done concerning localisation and histological type. Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal are the most often to be found, but overall neoplasias in this region are very seldom. The most important role in pathogenesis seems to play infection with HPV viruses. Symptoms are in the beginning unspecific and similar to other common proctological diseases. Proctological diagnostic procedures are to be combined with cytological methods. Therapeutic management depends on malignant potential of the lesions and contains local excision, total operation and combined radiochemotherapy, which is today considered standard therapy of squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal.
