Laparoscopic resection for a relapsed presacral epidermoid cyst penetrating the ischiorectal fossa

Abstract: An epidermoid cyst occurring in the presacral region is a rare congenital cystic tumor. Complete surgical excision is recommended because of the possibility of infection and malignancy. Depending on the size and location, several approaches, such as anterior, posterior, combined, and laparoscopic approaches, have been described. Here, we have reported a rare case of relapsed epidermoid cyst after emergency laparotomy and transvaginal drainage. Although the cyst penetrated the levator ani muscle and was densely… Show more

“…No undifferentiated cells were observed, and ectodermal skin structures primarily were seen, as noted in a previously documented dermoid MCT in the male pelvis [2]. The differential diagnosis for a cystic mass in this region includes hydatid cyst [26], epidermoid cyst [27], mycetoma [4], liposarcoma [28], hematoma, sarcoma, and carcinoma. Notably, the literature is inconsistent in the discrimination, or lack thereof, between the often subcutaneous dermoid cysts and dermoid MCTs.…”

“…The presacral cavity is surrounded anteriorly by the rectum, posteriorly by the sacrum/coccyx, cranially by the peritoneal reflection, and caudally by the anterior sacrococcygeal ligament and coccygeus muscle [ 4 ]. Various tumors arise in the presacral cavity due to the contact with the caudal end of the fetus and the aggregation of numerous fetal tissues, and these have been defined as developmental cysts [ 1 , 6 ]. Developmental cysts are classified as dermoid, epidermoid, and tailgut cyst [ 1 ].…”

“…However, there are risks associated with the need for a large wound over 10 cm in size, postoperative anal dysfunction, fistula formation, and sacral nerve disorder [ 8 ]. Previous reports have cited that transsacral incision is a useful method when the tumor is located below S3, near the coccyx, or in the ischiorectal space [ 6 , 9 ]. The laparoscopic transabdominal approach can help recognize the rectum, surrounding blood vessels, and nerves, especially due to a laparoscopic magnifying view with small incisions, whereas other reports suggest that the laparoscopic transabdominal approach is preferable when the tumor is located above S3 and is larger than 8 cm [ 4 , 9 ].…”

“…However, in a rare case of malignancy, rapid growth and bleeding have also been reported (6). In female patients, epidermal cysts in the perineum may displace the anus and vagina and extend into the pelvic cavity adjacent to the rectum (7). Ultrasound, MRI, and CT can be used as imaging modalities in these patients.…”
