Adenocarcinoma on retrorectal cystic hamartoma: An illustrative image for a very rare diagnosis

José Felipe Reoyo Pascual et al. Semin Oncol. 2024 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Retrorectal cystic hamartoma (also known as tailgut cyst) is a congenital lesion that originates from debris from the embryonic caudal intestine. Incidentally diagnosed in more than half of cases, the treatment of choice is surgical resection. It is a very rare pathology whose oncological transformation constitutes a true pathological rarity.

Keywords: Adenocarcinoma; Hamartoma; Retrorrectal.
