A tailgut cyst is a rare benign polycystic congenital lesion in presacral or retrorectal space, when there is failure of involution of tailgut. Clinical presentation may be with or without symptoms of different types related to obstruction, infection, or rarely malignancy. Symptoms may be misleading and atypical, so understanding of characteristics of tailgut cysts is important for precise and early diagnosis to be made for proper treatment and to avoid complications and malignant transformation. Magnetic resonance imaging pelvis was used as diagnostic imaging investigation, but the final confirmation was only done by histopathology. Definitive treatment is surgery, though various surgical approaches are described, surgery is tailored which will suit the individual patient's anatomy and suspected diagnosis of mass. This case review used PubMed and Web of Science databases to search for the studies. We found around 176 articles and selected 77 articles in our survey, with 8 reviews, 31 case reports, and 31 case reports and reviews.
直肠尾骨囊肿是一种罕见的先天性良性多房性病变，发生于直肠骶骨或直肠后间隙，是由于尾肠退化不全所致。临床表现可有或无与梗阻、感染相关的不同类型的症状，或罕见的恶性肿瘤。症状可能具有误导性和非典型性，因此了解直肠尾骨囊肿的特征对于准确和早期诊断、适当治疗以及避免并发症和恶性转化非常重要。骨盆磁共振成像（MRI）被用作诊断影像学检查，但最终的确诊仅通过组织病理学检查。明确的治疗方法是手术，但各种手术方法都有描述，手术方式会根据个体患者的解剖结构和疑似肿块的诊断进行调整。本病例复习使用了 PubMed 和 Web of Science 数据库进行研究检索。我们共找到约 176 篇文章，在我们的调查中选择了 77 篇文章，其中包括 8 篇综述、31 篇病例报告以及 31 篇病例报告和综述。
