Abstract:
Tailgut cysts, also called retro-rectal cystic hamartomas or mucin-secreting cysts, are uncommon vestigial masses. They can become complicated with infection or neoplastic degeneration. Surgery is the only treatment. We report here a case of a tailgut cyst in a 60-year-old female, that was discovered 10 years ago but not investigated.
