  • Title: Tailgut cysts: rare retrorectal tumours.
    Author: Verbeke S, Sommeling C, Haeck L.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2000; 100(2):68-70. PubMed ID: 10925716.
    Abstract:
    Two patients presented with tailgut cysts. The first patient complained of pain and pressure in the sacrococcygeal region. The second patient had developed a cystic mass superficial to the coccyx. Pelvic CT scans of both patients demonstrated a retrorectal mass. Both tumours were excised through a posterior para-sacrococcygeal approach with resection of the coccyx.
