We present our experience in light of scarce information available on the clinical manifestations of RTs. The retrospective study included 17 patients diagnosed as RTs between January 2004 and January 2014. Demographic characteristics, length of symptoms, clinical findings, diagnostic methods, evaluations on the treatment procedures and postoperative periods, pathology, complications, and length of hospital stay were recorded. A mean of 1.7 of patients were diagnosed with RTs annually in our hospital. Patients comprised 12 females and 5 males. Pain and discomfort were the most common symptoms at presentation. All the lesions were evaluated by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), and all the patients were treated operatively. Based on the preoperative MRI or CT findings, an anterior approach was performed in 7 patients, a posterior approach in 6 patients, and combined approach in 4 patients. Mean size of tumors was 9.2 \u00b1 4.3 cm. Epidermoid cyst (n = 8) was the most common tumor. Except for 1 case of liposarcoma, 16 tumors were confirmed to be of benign nature in histologic examination. Mean length of hospital stay 12.4 \u00b1 6.8 days. Retrorectal tumors are heterogeneous and lead to diagnostic difficulties. A high index of clinical suspicion is needed for diagnosis. Preoperative imaging may be helpful in determining the course of treatment. Total excision of a retrorectal tumor may alleviate pressure symptoms and confirm the diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-15-00068.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,23]],"date-time":"2015-11-23T14:38:25Z","timestamp":1448289505000},"page":"1177-1184","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Retrorectal Tumors in Adults: A 10-Year Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Oguz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"B\u00f6y\u00fck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Turkoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cemil","family":"Goya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulas","family":"Alabal\u0131k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatma","family":"Teke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H\u0131d\u0131r","family":"Budak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Metehan","family":"Gumu\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Dicle University Medical Faculty, Diyarbak\u0131r, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"i0020-8868-100-7-1177-b01","series-title":"J Gastrointest Surg","first-page":"2143","article-title":"Lesions originating within the retrorectal space: a diverse group requiring individualized evaluation and surgery","volume":"17","author":"Messick\n              CA,","year":"2013","unstructured":"Messick\n              CA, \n            \n              Hull\n              T, \n            \n              Rosselli\n              G, \n            \n              Kiran\n              RP.\n            \n          \n          Lesions originating within the retrorectal space: a diverse group requiring individualized evaluation and surgery.
