Abstract
Retrorectal hamartoma or tailgut cyst is an uncommon congenital disease of presacral and retrorectal space and is embryologically part of some forms of enteric cysts. The rarity of this disease leads to difficulty in diagnosis and surgical management. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice for tailgut cysts. We present a case of a 40-year-old man, who presented to us with abdominal pain for four months, which had become more prominent while defecation and after eating. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a cyst in the lower interperitoneal cavity. Surgical complete excision of the mass was done with midline laparotomy. Histopathology confirmed cloacal cyst.
