Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Retrorectal masses are uncommon and present a diagnostic challenge.
  • Carcinoid tumors, a type of neuroendocrine tumor, can occur in the retrorectal space.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old female presented with a retrorectal mass.
  • The mass was diagnosed as a carcinoid tumor.
  • The patient's clinical presentation and diagnostic workup are detailed.

Findings:

  • The retrorectal carcinoid tumor was successfully treated with abdominosacral resection.
  • This surgical approach provided complete tumor removal.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis and guided treatment.
