“…TGC, also known as retrorectal cystic hamartoma, cyst of postanal intestine, tail gut vestiges, or myoepithelial hamartoma of the rectum [3,8,10,11,34,35], usually presents in adult life [8]. Only rare cases have been described in infants [8,28,36].…”

Tailgut cysts (retrorectal cystic hamartomas) are rare lesions occurring in the retrorectal/presacral space of young women, considered to be of developmental origin. In this study, we report the clinicopathological characteristics of an adenocarcinoma developing in an unusual tailgut cyst. A 47-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of an enlarging presacral mass, extending into the gluteal area. The patient underwent surgical resection. Microscopic examination revealed a mucinous adenocarcinoma with intestinal features arising in a tailgut cyst. In addition to the usual components previously described in this lesion (cuboidal, columnar, ciliated or squamous epithelial lining with scattered smooth muscle fibers in the wall), our case was unique in that it was associated with a meningothelial proliferation and benign thyroid tissue with oncocytic changes. These additional features bring into question the proposed hindgut origin of tailgut cysts.

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.

“…Aus ihnen kann sich spontan Schleim oder Eiter entleeren [1].Auffallend ist, daß sich bei der chirurgischen Sanierung einer solchen Fistel keine Infektionsquelle im Bereich einer Krypte der Linea dentata finden läßt. Diese Fisteln sind Anlaß für wiederholte chirurgische Interventionen, die die Gefahr einer Störung der Kontinenz in sich bergen [5,9].…”

“…Die Kontrastmitteldarstellung des Rektum zeigt eine Einengung bzw. Verlagerung des Analkanals [1]. Die Sonographie, das CT und MRT vermögen wohl am besten, Raumforderungen im präsakralen Bereich sowie ihre Beziehung zur Umgebung Die chirurgische Therapie besteht in der totalen Exstirpation der Zyste mit den dazugehörigen Fistelgängen.…”
