Abstract
The patient had been aware of a swelling in the (left) ischiorectal region for 2 years, which altered in prominence with posture, i.e., it appeared to be less obvious when laying on his right side. On examination, a soft cystic swelling was apparent, filling the left ischiorectal fossa. Computerized tomography (CT) examination revealed the ischiorectal lesion was in continuity with a large pelvic mass, mainly left-sided with clearly defined margins. There was displacement of pelvic structures. The maximum diameter was 75mm. It did not appear to be connected with the small or large bowel. Needle biopsy was nondiagnostic.
