INTRODUCTION Retrorectal cysts are rare benign lesions which are frequently diagnosed in middle-aged females. According to their origin and histopathologic features, retrorectal cysts are classified as squamous-lined (dermoid or epidermoid) cysts, postanal gut (tailgut) cysts, and rectal duplications (enteric or enterogenous cysts, enterocystomas).

Disseminated peritoneal hydatidosis is rare. Infrequently hydatid cysts can rupture into adjacent organs. We report a case of secondarily disseminated peritoneal hydatidosis with rupture into the gut presenting as hydatidorrhoea. A 26-year-old man presented with passage of white ‘grape’–like structures with stool. Ultrasonography showed disseminated hydatidosis. Magnetic resonance imaging furth...
