Abstract

Background

Sexually transmitted Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is a known risk factor for cancer of the anal canal in both men and women.

Case presentation

We describe a report of synchronous carcinoma of the anal canal in a heterosexual couple. High risk type 16 HPV DNA was detected in both tumors.

Conclusion

Longstanding sexual partners may share risk of HPV-associated anal canal cancer.
