  • Title: Tailgut cyst. A case report.
    Author: Deltour D, Veys E.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2011; 111(3):179-81. PubMed ID: 21780528.
    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.
