Abstract
A tailgut cyst is a rare benign polycystic congenital lesion in presacral or retrorectal space, when there is failure of involution of tailgut. Clinical presentation may be with or without symptoms of different types related to obstruction, infection, or rarely malignancy. Symptoms may be misleading and atypical, so understanding of characteristics of tailgut cysts is important for precise and early diagnosis to be made for proper treatment and to avoid complications and malignant transformation. Magnetic resonance imaging pelvis was used as diagnostic imaging investigation, but the final confirmation was only done by histopathology. Definitive treatment is surgery, though various surgical approaches are described, surgery is tailored which will suit the individual patient's anatomy and suspected diagnosis of mass. This case review used PubMed and Web of Science databases to search for the studies. We found around 176 articles and selected 77 articles in our survey, with 8 reviews, 31 case reports, and 31 case reports and reviews.
