Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts are rare abnormalities and a retrorectal presentation is exceptional. Its natural history is not known, but malignant transformation is quite rare. Retrorectal bronchogenic cysts are usually asymptomatic.
Presentation Of The Case: We present the case of a 36-year-old young man with a past medical history of HIV seropositivity who underwent a procedure to excise a sacral coccyx cyst at another surgical center in February 2009. A histological examination confirmed it was a sacral cyst that was resected in sano. The patient presented with a recurrence of the cyst, and this report describes the combined surgical procedure using a double sacrococcygeal and abdominal approach.
Discussion: A complete excision without cyst rupture is recommended to reduce the risk of local recurrence and malignant transformation, as previously reported. Resection can ben performed using multiple approaches depending on the cyst's location
Conclusion: Herein, we report the case of a retrorectal bronchogenic cyst in a 36 years old man who was initially treated for a pilonidal cyst. A double surgical approach (abdominal and Kraske) resulted in complete resectioning with no reccurrence.

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.

Retrorectal tumors, although rare, pose diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their nonspecific symptoms and complex anatomical location. This single-center case series reports short-term outcomes of laparoscopic transabdominal resection as a surgical approach for large retrorectal tumors. Between 2017 and 2020, five patients underwent this procedure.

Aim: To discuss extended retrorectal abscess secondary to blunt abdominal trauma as a cause of abdominal wall (AW) infection and impairment.
Methods: According to the CARE checklist, we describe a rare case of blunt abdominal trauma with late diagnosis of jejunal perforation with an abscess that extensively dissected the retromuscular space.
Results: A 65 years-old female patient experienced multiple traumas after a traffic collision.

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.

Retrorectal cystic hamartoma (also known as tailgut cyst) is a congenital lesion that originates from debris from the embryonic caudal intestine. Incidentally diagnosed in more than half of cases, the treatment of choice is surgical resection. It is a very rare pathology whose oncological transformation constitutes a true pathological rarity.
