We report a case of multiple fistulae in ano [8 external openings] in a 45-yrs-old man, who had a history of episodes of pain and pus discharge from openings around the anus since 4 years.
Biopsy from the tract of one of the fistula confirmed tubercular infection. He underwent radiofrequency fistulotomy using a Ellman radiofrequency device along with anti-tubercular treatment, which resulted in complete resolution, and healing.
