Retrorectal Epidermal Inclusion Cyst : An Incidental Finding During Cesarean Section
Copyright © 2020, Nasim et al..
An epidermal inclusion cyst is a benign lesion, frequently observed throughout the body. However, its presence in the retrorectal region is a rare occurrence. With a higher incidence in women and non-specific symptoms, these cysts are mostly an incidental finding. Here, we report a case of a 33-year-old female presenting with complaints of abdominal pain and sensation of incomplete and painful defecation. The patient's history revealed that a large pelvic cyst was found incidentally during her first cesarean section (CS) owing to an arrest in labor. A presumptive diagnosis of rectal duplication cyst was made based on digital rectal exam (DRE), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. For cyst removal, the patient underwent a midline laparotomy. A postoperative biopsy led to the confirmed diagnosis of the retrorectal epidermal inclusion cyst. On follow-up, our patient showed a smooth recovery without any complications. We conclude that when dealing with a pregnant woman with a pelvic mass, developmental cysts should always be kept in mind. Timely diagnosis and management of a retrorectal mass is essential for effective treatment and to prevent subsequent complications.
