ABSTRACT
We present the case of a Tailgut cyst occurring in the retrorectal space that was curatively resected using a posterior approach. A 40-year-old man presented to the Kochi Health Sciences Center with the chief complaint of perineal incongruity. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a multilocular cystic lesion in the retrorectal space, with high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging. After diagnosing a Tailgut cyst, we performed resection of the tumor using a posterior approach. The lesion was removed en bloc with the coccyx. Histopathologically, the lesion was diagnosed as a non-malignant Tailgut cyst, and the surgical margin was negative. The patient is currently doing well without recurrence at 20 months.
