Core Tip
Core Tip: Perirectal cystic mass is a rare congenital developmental abnormality. An 18-year-old female was found with a perirectal mass due to defecation difficulties. She had suffered from sacrococcygeal falls and burns on the left buttocks during the growth experience. We performed a complete preoperative evaluation of this patient. Three-dimensional computed tomography scans showed that there was no damage to the sacral surface bone. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed that the perirectal mass had a complete membrane without enhancement signs and no potential connection with the perianal sinus and sacral canal. Finally, the mass was completely removed through the sacrococcygeal approach and verified as an epidermoid cyst in histology. This case highlights the need to improve evaluation in the differential diagnosis of perirectal mass.
