Abstract:
Although presacral developmental cysts, including epidermoid cysts, are relatively rare diseases, an intrapelvic mass found for the first time in early pregnancy should be followed-up with the possibility of presacral developmental cysts in mind to be alert to the signs of local infection and malignancy. We treated a pregnant patient with presacral cystic disease. During pregnancy, percutaneous fenestration was performed because the cyst caused severe compression symptoms and complicated bacterial infection. Laparoscopic total cyst excision was performed after cesarean section. There is no suggested criterion to make a decision for the delivery mode. The mass should be removed completely to reduce the risk of recurrence and malignant progression.
