Postrectal Neoplasms and Cysts

Abstract: The postrectal space is extensive and is in relationship to the sacral promontory and sacrum above and the coccyx below. Any of the structures in or adjacent to the space may be involved by or give rise to a postrectal neoplasm. In addition, a group of congenital neoplasms and cysts may also present in this space. Uhlig and Johnson in 1975 reviewed patients presenting to hospitals in the Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. area over a 25‐year period. The population of Oregon in 1970 was 379,000. A total of 63 cases were … Show more

“…For larger tumors, the combined abdominosacral approach in the lateral position is recommended, although some prefer the abdominoperineal approach to better avoid sacral nerve in-jury.? : [13][14][15] Because our patient had a complex mass with two discrete cysts, the largest being approximately 8 em in diameter, the posterior sacral approach was chosen.…”

“…However, there are several retrospective series that support that between 1 and 6 patients are diagnosed yearly in tertiary referral centers. [1][2][3] Uhlig and Johnson, demonstrated the incidence of two presacral tumors per year in a metropolitan population at a non-tertiary referral center and Jao et al, found that retrorectal tumors accounted for 1 in 40,000 hospital admissions. [4][5] Although infrequent, the understanding of anatomy, presentation, ideal imaging modalities and management of these lesions, will avoid the significant morbidity and complications associated with incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate management.…”
