The management of presacral masses in the adult

A Wolpert et al. Tech Coloproctol. 2002 Apr.

Abstract

Presacral (retrorectal) tumors are particularly rare in the adult. There is difficulty in the performance of diagnostic biopsy, and specialized imaging is required to plan surgical extirpation. This review assesses their incidence and classification as well as the principles involved in their diagnosis and surgical management.
