Abstract

A tailgut cyst is a rare tumour originating from the embryonic remnant of the retrorectal space. The cyst is often asymptomatic, but it can cause abdominal or rectal pain and urogenital symptoms. When diagnosed, resection is the choice of treatment, and traditionally open surgery has been preferred. In this case report, we present a 30-year-old female patient with a painful tailgut cyst. She was found to be candidate for transanal endoscopic microsurgery, which was successfully performed.
