Presacral tumors are a rare group of located posterior to the rectum in retrorectal or presacral space. Due lack specific symptoms and difficult anatomic localization, they present diagnostic management challenge for surgeons. We case schwannoma young female who was initially misdiagnosed as uterine fibroid on ultrasound taken up myomectomy. The tumor later successfully excised by combined abdo...

Although epidermal cysts are frequently observed throughout the body, they are rarely found in the retrorectal/presacral regions. Retrorectal epidermal cysts are congenital lesions of ectodermal origin and generally occur in women during the reproductive period. In this case report, a 47 year old female patient with 25 years of complaint of a mass extending from the perianal region to the retro...

Retrorectal cystic hamartomas are rare congenital lesions that arise from aberrant remnants of the postanal gut. Most of them appear as asymptomatic lesions in middle-aged women but they can manifest with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal or pelvic pain, constipation or diarrhoea, genitourinary symptoms, etc. Due to their anatomical position and variable presentation these lesions are ofte...

BACKGROUND Primary tumors in the presacral (retrorectal) space are extremely rare in adults, with an estimated incidence of 0.0025 to 0.014 in large referral centers. Congenital varieties are most common and comprise two thirds of these tumors. Primary retroperitoneal sarcomas in the pelvic region are extremely rare. We report the ultrasound and the corresponding Computed Tomography (CT) featur...

introduction retrorectal cysts are rare benign lesions which are frequently diagnosed in middle-aged females. according to their origin and histopathologic features, retrorectal cysts are classified as squamous-lined (dermoid or epidermoid) cysts, postanal gut (tailgut) cysts, and rectal duplications (enteric or enterogenous cysts, enterocystomas). described in this case report is an extremely ...

Tailgut cyst, or retrorectal cystic hamartoma, is a rare congenital lesion found in the presacral space. The lession has been infrequently reported in medical literature. It is most common in middle-aged women and is rare in children. We report a case of a tailgut cyst mimicking a rectal duplication in an 8-year-old child. Excision and histological examination of the mass confirmed the tailgut ...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION Developmental cysts are the most common retrorectal cystic lesions in adults, whereas reports of endometrioid cysts in this anatomic location are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 21-year-old nulliparous Greek woman presented with chronic noncyclic pelvic pain, and a retrorectal cyst was diagnosed. The lesion was resected through a laparotomy and, on histologic examination, was...

PURPOSE A retrorectal developmental cyst (tailgut cyst, epidermoid cyst, dermoid cyst, teratoma, and duplication) is very rare disease, and the symptoms are not characteristic so that sometimes this disease is still misdiagnosed as a supralevator abscess or a complex anal fistula. We would like to present a clinical approach to this disease. METHODS We retrospectively examined the charts of 1...
