Abstrakt:	The incidence of rectal cancer with a pelvic abscess is rare; hence, treatment strategies are difficult because both malignant and infectious inflammation need to be addressed. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old man diagnosed with rectal cancer accompanied by a pelvic abscess. We performed transrectal drainage of the abscess, and a transanal rectal drainage tube was inserted into the abscess cavity. His symptoms rapidly improved, and computed tomography showed that the pelvic abscess had disappeared. Six weeks after drainage, radical laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure with resection of the rectal cancer and incision drainage scar was performed. After adjuvant chemotherapy, laparoscopic stoma closure was performed a year after the operation. The patient showed no evidence of cancer recurrence 1.5 years after radical surgery. Transrectal drainage followed by laparoscopic radical resection can be a less invasive and effective treatment for rectal cancer accompanied by a pelvic abscess. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
