Abstract
This severe monkeypox case described a 23-year-old male with advanced HIV-1 disease presenting perirectal abscess, extensive anal ulcerative lesions requiring colostomy, and tecovirimat resistance. Radiologically non-liquefied perirectal abscess presented diagnostic challenges highlighting the complexity of aggressive monkeypox manifestations in immunocompromised individuals.
