Retrorectal Cystic Hamartoma (tailgut cyst [TGC]) are uncommon, multiloculated congenital tumors derived from embryonic post-anal or tail gut remnants often undiagnosed due to their rare incidence, anatomical location, and non-specific clinical presentation.

We presented a 21-year-old patient with a perianal fistula history who underwent surgery. Nonetheless, she showed recurrence, and the cystic hamartoma was found in the resonance imaging. Therefore, the definitive treatment was complete resection of the lesion by posterior approach (Kraske-Mason).

Palabras clave : Cystic hamartoma; retrorectal tumor; benign tumor.
