Abstract
Objective
A case of intestinal spirochaetosis diagnosed in anal cytology is presented.
Methods
An anal liquid‐based cytology was performed and stained with Papanicolau and Warthin‐Starry stains.
Results
An apical filamentous “fringe” was identified in columnar cells groups.
Conclusion
Anal cytology is a potential tool for intestinal spirochaetosis diagnosis.
