Question 98 · LEK · Proctology
A young man came to the clinic. He noticed a periodic leaking of purulent content in the upper part of the gluteal cleft. There is a periodic pain in that area. The examination reveals several openings in the skin in the area, without any leakage. The most probably diagnosis is:
- A. perianal fistula.
- B. perianal abscess (in the phase without inflammation).
- C. anal fissure.
- D. cutaneous form of ulcerative colitis.
- E. pilonidal cyst.
Hint
Note the location: the upper natal cleft rather than the area around the anus, in a young man with several skin openings.
