Abstract

A rare case of an adult patient with a giant neurenteric cyst in a presacral location is reported. It had unique histological features of a stratified squamous epithelial lining with neuro-epithelial and smooth muscle components. There was associated sacral dysgenesis with spina bifida. The possible pathogenesis of this entity is discussed.
