Abstract (AI)
Tailgut cyst, or retrorectal cystic hamartoma, is a rare congenital lesion found in the presacral space. The lession has been infrequently reported in medical literature. It is most common in middle-aged women and is rare in children. We report a case of a tailgut cyst mimicking a rectal duplication in an 8-year-old child. Excision and histological examination of the mass confirmed the tailgut cyst.
Key Findings
1
An 8-year-old girl presented with a giant presacral tailgut cyst that mimicked rectal duplication.
2
Complete excision followed by histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of tailgut cyst.
3
Tailgut cysts are rare congenital lesions located in the presacral space and are uncommon in children.
4
The case highlights diagnostic confusion between pediatric tailgut cysts and rectal duplication.
