“…3). There has been some controversy about which regions these congenital cysts originate, and two embryological structures, the tail gut and the neurenteric canal, have been suggested as the origins of these cysts [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Tailgut cyst associated with a pilonidal sinus: an unusual case and a review

Tailgut cysts are rare congenital abnormalities in the retrocaecal/presacral region. Clinical diagnosis is difficult and delayed and they can present in childhood and adult life with a variety of clinical symptoms and complications. Differential diagnoses include, rectal duplication cysts, cystic teratoma, epidermal cyst, anal gland cyst and anal gland carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging has recently become the modality of choice to image these cysts. Although Tailgut cysts rarely undergo malignant transformation, early surgical resection is presently considered the treatment of choice. Here we report the case of a 34 year old gentleman with a Tailgut cyst associated with a Pilonidal sinus, and review of the literature. We believe that the high incidence of complications associated with operations in the presacral region should be weighed against the generally benign course of these lesions, especially with the quality of modern imaging technology.

Tumors of the retrorectal space are rare entities. The case report of a retrorectal tailgut cyst serves to illustrate the clinical and diagnostic findings, differential diagnosis, and therapy of retrorectal tumors. Tumors in this area can be identified by palpation. The subsequent investigations include ultrasound, endosonography, endoscopy, and by choice computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Usually tailgut cysts are characterized as cystic tumors, well delineated with multicystic formation. The diagnosis has to differentiate between carcinomas of the colorectum, hamartomas, lymphomas, teratomas, chordomas, abscess formation, dermoid cysts, epidermoid cysts, and enteral cysts. An elevated level of CEA may point to malignancy. Complete surgical resection is the therapy of choice.
