Abstract

Background. Presacral tumors are more frequently benign, and only occasionally malignant, showing a slow growth and an incidence of 1:40.000. They are asymptomatic in the 26-50% of the cases. When symptoms occur, these are related to the dimensions of the tumor, to its location and to the presence of infection. Case report. We report the case of a 69-year old woman with a lower abdominal pain associated with paresthesia and ipostenia of the right inferior limb. Digital rectal examination showed a fixed, mild tender and hard tumor of the posterior rectal wall. CT, MR and CT-guided biopsy sequently performed revealed a solid, dishomogeneous mass, located in the presacral region, with a connective likely origin, without pelvic lymphoadenopathy. The operation allowed to esteem a mass which was tenaciously adherent to the sacrum. We performed a total excision. Final histological diagnosis was myelolipoma. Conclusions. The Authors’ opinion is that the en-bloc resection of these tumors with an anterior surgical approach allows a histological diagnosis of the nature, representing the best treatment for potentially malignant lesions, which are frequently radio and chemo-resistant.
