Tumors occupying the retrorectal (presacral) space are uncommon and heterogeneous. It is estimated that an average of two patients with retrorectal tumors will be diagnosed per year in a standard metropolitan area. They are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed during routine physical examination incidentally. Our case was admitted with complaints of a swelling in her vagina, constipation, and difficulty in emptying her bowels. The diagnosis and treatment utilizing transvaginal approach in this case is discussed in comparison with the literature. Up to our knowledge, this is the first case presenting as rectocele and second case of retrorectal tumor surgically treated using transvaginal approach.
占据直肠后（骶前）间隙的肿瘤并不常见且具有异质性。据估计，在一个标准的大都市地区，每年平均有两名直肠后肿瘤患者被诊断出来。它们通常无症状，在常规体格检查时偶然被发现。我们的病例因阴道肿胀、便秘和排便困难而入院。本文结合文献讨论了该病例经阴道途径的诊断和治疗。据我们所知，这是首例表现为直肠膨出的病例，也是第二例经阴道途径手术治疗的直肠后肿瘤病例。
