Tailgut cyst, management of a rare perianal mass: a case report.
AME Case Rep
November 2024
Department of General and Digestive Surgery, IRIS Sud Hospitals, Brussels, Belgium.
Background: A perianal mass has a wide range of possible diagnoses, including tailgut cysts. Tailgut cysts are congenital, and their development is slow. Because its most common placement is retro-rectal, it is extremely rare to find it on the perianal level only.

Retrorectal cystic hamartomas ("Tailgut cysts") are rare developmental cysts that appear in the retrorectal space, arising from aberrant remnants of the post-anal primitive gut in case of an incomplete embryogenetic involution. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman with a history of chronic lower abdominal pain. Other digestive symptoms, like rectal fullness, constipation, pain on defecation, rectal bleeding or genitourinary obstruction symptoms, were not associated.

Article Synopsis
- Presacral tumors are rare, especially in children, and can come from different cell types that develop during embryonic growth.
- A case study of a 13-year-old girl showed initial imaging suggested a tailgut cyst, but surgery revealed it was actually a mature cystic teratoma, which is unusual for her age.
- The surgery required careful dissection due to adhesions, and the diagnosis highlights the importance of surgical exploration over just imaging to accurately identify and treat presacral masses.
