Retrorectal Cystic Hamartoma (Tailgut Cyst)

摘要

Exploratory laparotomy and pelvic exploration with resection of the mass was performed. We approached the resection through a midline incision. Intraoperatively, we found a large, multicystic, fluid-filled mass that involved the superior rectal artery and significantly compressed the adjacent structures. The tumor was resected in continuity with the rectum and anus; a coccygectomy was also performed. No evidence was found of metastatic disease or lymphadenopathy.
