Review Title: Beyond squamous cell carcinoma: MRI appearance of uncommon anal neoplasms and mimickers
Abstract: Anal cancer is an uncommon malignancy. In addition to squamous cell carcinoma, there are a variety of other less common malignancies and benign pathologies that may afflict the anal canal, with which abdominal radiologists should be familiar. Abdominal radiologists should be familiar with the imaging features that can help distinguish different rare anal tumors beyond squamous cell carcinoma and that can aid in diagnosis therefore help steer management. This review discusses these uncommon pathologies with a focus on their imaging appearance, management, and prognosis.
