Tailgut cysts are benign retrorectal embryological remnants, often found incidentally or when evaluating a patient for pelvic symptoms. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) offers patients a low morbidity surgical approach for resection of a variety of low rectal lesions. This is a case report of resection of a tailgut cyst using TAMIS, including images and description of the steps of t...

Tailgut cyst, also called retrorectal hamartoma, is a rare congenital lesion and is usually located anterior to the sacrum and posterior to the rectum.

Digital rectal examination revealed a round mass w...

We report the case of a 49-year-old woman who presented a tailgut cyst lined by a variety of epithelium including squamous, columnar and transitional. Fortuitously a microscopic carcinoid tumor expressing immunohistochemically neuroendocrine markers was identified in the cystic wall. Tailgut cysts are congenital abnormalities located in the presacrococcygeal area occurring usually in adult pati...

A tailgut cyst is a rare developmental lesion and usually is located in the retrorectal or presacral space. Extrahepatic hydatid disease has been reported in several locations including the pelvis and it often poses a diagnostic challenge. There are very few reported cases of primary perineal hydatid cysts. We present the multimodality imaging findings of a tailgut cyst and concurrent perineal ...

tailgut cyst is a very rare lesion of the retrorectal space seemingly derived from embryonic remnants of the tail gut which often causes rectal signs and symptoms. a unique case of this lesion presenting as a subcutaneous mass lateral to the coccyx is hereby described
