Laparoscopic Synchronous Resection For Descending Colon Cancer And Tailgut Cyst

A 67-year-old woman underwent polypectomy for a tumor at the descending colon. Pathologically, the tumor was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma with an invasion of 2000 mu m. Computed tomography showed a swollen paracolic lymph node and a mass lesion in the presacral space. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a multiocular cystic lesion. On diagnosis of descending colon cancer and tailgut cyst, she underwent synchronous laparoscopic resection. Histopathologically, the colon cancer was diagnosed as pT1bN1M0, pStage IIIa. The presacral cystic lesion was diagnosed as a nonmalignant tailgut cyst with negative surgical margin. The patient is currently doing well without recurrence at 28 months.
