Introduction & Importance: Teratomas, typically situated in midline areas like the sacrococcygeal region, may rarely manifest in the retroperitoneal region. Often asymptomatic and incidentally discovered, they can lead to complications such as infection, tumor rupture, or, exceptionally, peritonitis.
Case Presentation: In a 2-year-old child with a history of trauma, an atypical presentation of acute abdomen and peritonitis was observed.

Germ cell tumors (GCT) are a complex, heterogeneous collection of tumors that may present in either gonadal or extragonadal sites. They consist of a variety of benign and malignant histologies that can occur at several locations throughout the body. An important component of treatment is surgical resection, and while the key components of resection are site specific, the universal goals of GCT resection include the complete resection of tumor without violating the tumor capsule, while preserving function of surrounding organs, minimizing morbidity, and assessing for regional spread.

Clinical presentation may be with or without symptoms of different types related to obstruction, infection, or rarely malignancy. Symptoms may be misleading and atypical, so understanding of characteristics of tailgut cysts is important for precise and early diagnosis to be made for proper treatment and to avoid complications and malignant transformation.

Article Synopsis
- Cystic lesions in the retrorectal space often include tailgut cysts, which are mostly benign but can occasionally undergo malignant transformation.
- A case study describes a 44-year-old woman who had surgery for a cyst initially thought to be infectious, which was later diagnosed as a low-grade neuroendocrine tumor (NET) arising from a tailgut cyst.
- The study emphasizes the need for careful surgical resection and thorough pathological evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and prevent disease progression, especially since higher-grade tumors have a greater risk of metastasis.
