چکیده
Many types of tumors can develop in the presacral space, since it is composed of different kind of embryonic tissues. Neoplasms can be solid or cystic (40.8% of cases) 1 and are usually classified as either congenital or acquired (inflammatory, neurogenic, osseous, or miscellaneous) according to the tumor’s tissue of origin. Congenital lesions represent more than 50 per cent of tumors. Developmental cysts, which result from an error during the embryogenesis, constitute the majority of cases 2. Presacral epidermoid cysts are such type of lesions. Different surgical approaches are described for treating presacral tumors. A case of a large presacral epidermoid cyst, excised through an exclusive abdominal approach, is reported.
