[Local Recurrence of Rectal Cancer under Perineal Skin after Abdominoperineal Resection]

A woman in her early 50s underwent abdominoperineal resection with left lateral lymph node resection for advanced rectal cancer. The pathological diagnosis was RC, RbP, well-differentiated, type 5, 65×47mm, pT3(A), pN0(0/40), M0, pStage Ⅱ. The local recurrence discovered under the perineal skin 2 months later was treated by resecting the tumor and both inguinal lymph nodes. Adjuvant chemotherapy containing UFT plus LV was also initiated for 6 months. She remains free of recurrence 1 year after resection of the local recurrence.
