Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion (IPPP) is an uncommon and underreported benign cutaneous lesion characterized by a protrusion from the anal orifice. It is also believed to be often mistaken for other conditions. The unawareness of this lesion may be responsible for underreporting and an excessive concern both in providers and in parents. Timely diagnosis and reassurance need to be emphasized in the provider community. We report an interesting case of IPPP on the first day of life, which was erroneously diagnosed as imperforate anus at her delivery.
婴儿肛周锥体样隆起(IPPP)是一种罕见且报道不足的良性皮肤病变,其特征为从肛门开口处突出。人们还认为它常被误诊为其他病症。对这种病变的不了解可能导致报告不足,以及医护人员和家长的过度担忧。在医护人员群体中需要强调及时诊断和给予安心。我们报告了一例出生第一天就出现IPPP的有趣病例,该病例在分娩时被错误诊断为肛门闭锁。
