    The discovery is incidental in the majority of cases. However, in some cases, these cysts may be revealed by complications such as infection; rectal, anal or skin fistulization; or even malignant degeneration [3]. Imaging by transrectal or suprapubic ultrasound shows the cystic nature of the lesion, its fluid content and its retrorectal location.
