title: Retrorectal cyst-hamartoma: a case report.
abstract: Retrorectal cyst-hamartoma is a relatively rare disease. Total excision of the cyst is indicated to prevent infection and malign proliferation. We present a case of retrorectal cyst-hamartoma in a 55-year-old woman that was successfully treated by complete surgical excision.
