A tailgut cyst (TGC) is a rare congenital lesion that occurs due to failure of involution of the distal hindgut, leading to the development of a mucus-secreting cyst. The clinical presentation is nonspecific, and often the diagnosis can be missed. We present the case of a 20-year-old female with a TGC in the perianal region. Surgical excision of the cyst was performed, followed by an uneventful recovery. The young age of our patient and the anatomical location of the TGC make our case a rare entity, highlighting the need for practicing surgeons to keep TGC as a differential in mind while examining masses in the perianal region.
尾肠囊肿（TGC）是一种罕见的先天性病变，由于远端后肠退化失败而发生，导致分泌黏液的囊肿形成。临床表现不具有特异性，常常会漏诊。我们报告一例20岁女性肛周区域尾肠囊肿的病例。对囊肿进行了手术切除，随后恢复顺利。我们患者的年轻年龄以及尾肠囊肿的解剖位置使我们的病例成为一种罕见情况，这突出了执业外科医生在检查肛周区域肿物时将尾肠囊肿作为鉴别诊断考虑的必要性。
