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 hydatid disease in a 32-year-old male patient.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with rectal perforation during various surgical interventions for presacral cysts.

Methods: This retrospective study included 73 participants from 2013 to 2023 who met the inclusion criteria. Participants underwent surgical treatments through transabdominal, perineal, or combined approaches.

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.

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.

Tailgut cysts are rare congenital cysts that develop from the embryological remnants of the gut. They are usually found in the retrorectal space. In most of the cases, they are asymptomatic.
