We report the case of a newborn presenting with a pediculated mass arising from the anal margin. Antenatal sonogram and magnetic resonance imaging were unable to diagnose the precise nature of the lesion.
Sacrococcygeal teratoma
, an enterogenous cyst, a polyp, a
prolapse
or other perineal tumors were all proposed as possible entities. At birth, no other anatomic anomaly than this homogenous 2 cm para-anal lesion was seen. Excision of the mass was performed under general anesthesia. The postoperative histological exam showed mature fat cells. Reviewing the literature, there have been few previously reported cases of congenital perineal lipoma. It is a rare, benign and easy-to-treat condition that can be evocated by morphological sonography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
