“…A consensus exist that all presacral tumors should be resected, even if the patient is asymptomatic and even though many tumors are benign (14) . Surgical resection confirms the diagnosis, and thus eliminates the need for biopsy, which at times may be difficult to retrieve.…”

“…5,25,[34][35][36] Over the past 25 years, different biopsy approaches have been advocated for needle aspiration of pelvic lesions under computed tomographic (CT) guidance. [37][38][39][40] Gupta et al 41 reviewed the normal pelvic anatomy as it relates to percutaneous needle biopsy of deep pelvic lesions, described various approaches for CT-guided pelvic biopsy, including the transsacral approach and reviewed potential complications.…”

Tumors that arise in the retrorectal, (presacral), space are uncommon lesions. Diagnosis and management remain difficult. These tumors present with nonspecific signs and symptoms thereby leading to a difficulty in diagnoses. For complete evaluation of the lesion cross sectional imaging, most importantly MRI is required, for diagnostic purposes, and can determine between benign and malignant lesions, as well as the extent of resection. MRI is also utilized to determine the most appropriate surgical approach. Surgical removal leads to favorable outcomes for patients with benign purely cystic retrorectal tumors. Preoperative tissue diagnosis with transperineal and transsacral biopsies of solid or heterogeneous cystic lesions, plays a role in determining the necessity of neoadjuvant therapy which may decrease local recurrence after surgery and avoid an unnecessary delay in systemic therapy. However, if one is to perform a biopsy one must abides by certain principles during the biopsy.
