Teratomas and Epidermoid Cysts

Presacral tumors have been traditionally approached either abdominally or via a transsacral incision. We describe a perineal approach to these tumors. A patient with a presacral benign cystic teratoma is described. The tumor was removed through a Schuchardt incision with no difficulties or complications. The vaginal approach should be considered for the removal of selected presacral tumors.
