Abstract
Here we discuss the role of the anorectal two- and three-dimensional ultrasonography in evaluating rarer benign and malignant anorectal and pelvic diseases. This is a useful exam to stage such lesions, identifying their relationship with the rectal wall and sphincter muscles and helping choose the best treatment option.
