Among the different pathologic structures of the presacro-coccygeal space retrorectal cystic hamartomas are uncommon lesions. These cysts are most likely derived from remnants of the embryonic tail-gut although an association to teratomas may exist. We describe the clinicopathologic features of a retrorectal cystic hamartoma with malignant transformation in a 60 year old female patient. The literature is reviewed and etiology, diagnosis and operative management are discussed.
