BACKGROUND Retrorectal or presacral space is occupied during embryological stem cell development and therefore may contain a heterogeneous group of tumors. METHODS We report the case of a 22-year-old male with a pilonidal cyst operated due to recurrent pilonidal sinus cyst. Final diagnosis after pelvic computed tomography is large retrorectal cystic tumor and magnetic resonance diagnosis of a presacral cystic compatible wtih germ cell tumor. The tumor was removed surgically through the abdomen and diagnosis of cystic teratoma was established. CONCLUSIONS Retrorectal tumors are rare lesions whose presence must be ruled out in case of recurrent sinus.

D013724 Teratoma A true neoplasm composed of a number of different types of tissue, none of which is native to the area in which it occurs. It is composed of tissues that are derived from three germinal layers, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. They are classified histologically as mature (benign) or immature (malignant).
