“…In case of pararectal lesion a different approach could be used according to the position, dimension and oncological target. trans -abdominal resection which may involve the rectum too is generally indicated, but sometimes a combined approach is needed [8], [9], [10], [11].…”

“…1 Pelvic retroperitoneal location of this tumor, outside the major organs within this compartment, has been reported in only a few cases. [1][2][3] Although most patients are asymptomatic, they may present with symptoms resulting from local mass effect such as constipation or lower abdominal, back, or rectal pain. 5 Once detected, radiologic evaluation is invaluable in preoperative surgical planning because clinical implications and therapeutic strategies for retroperitoneal cystic masses vary depending on the cause.…”

“…Pelvic retroperitoneal location of this tumor, outside the major organs within this compartment, is a rare condition and reported in only a few cases. [1][2][3] Although histopathologic examination is necessary for the final analysis of this tumor, diagnostic imaging is useful to suggest the benign nature of the mass, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most specific imaging technique.

Experience with minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopic ablation and transanal endoscopic microsurgery, to resection pelvic retroperitoneal and presacral tumors is limited. Masses arising from this anatomic position are usually removed using a transsacral approach or laparotomy. We report a detailed description of the laparoscopic procedure performed in a 32-year-old woman to remove a mass, which was detected with both ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, that was closely adherent to the left sacrospinous ligament and compressing the rectum. Histopathologic findings were consistent with a rare case of pelvic retroperitoneal epidermoid cyst. This tumor, which usually occurs in the face, the scalp, the trunk, or the neck, has been described in the pelvic retroperitoneal space in only a few cases.

“…The pararectal space is a potential space in the posterior pelvis bordered by rectum, sacral hollow and cardinal ligament. The occurrence of epidermoid cyst in the pararectal space is rare 1. The clinical presentation is variable, and it presents as a diagnostic challenge.…”

Laparoscopic management of epidermoid cyst in an unusual location

The pararectal space or presacral space is a potential site for various cysts and tumours because it consists of many types of embryonic tissues. Although epidermoid cyst is a well-known entity, encountering a pararectal epidermoid cyst is relatively rare. The incidence of cystic tumours in the pararectal space has been reported to be 1 in 40 000 to 63 000 patients. Most of the tumours are asymptomatic and are incidentally discovered during routine imaging studies. Herein, we report a case of pararectal epidermoid cyst in a 51-year-old woman which was managed laparoscopically in a gastroenterology institute in South India.
