A rare cause of pelvic pain: Tailgut cyst

Arzu Dinc Yavas*

Tailgut cyst or retrorectal cystic hamartoma is a congenital lesion located in the retrorectal-presacral space and is a remnant of the embryonic hindgut. It is more common between the ages of 30-60 and in women (f/e=5/1). Although it is usually asymptomatic, it may cause abdominal pain or constipation. Our aim is to highlight this rare cause of pelvic floor pain through 2 cases.
