Abstract
An epidermoid cyst is a congenital benign tumor and is extremely rare at the presacral region. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We herein report a case of a 40-year-old woman with a giant presacral epidermoid cyst mimicking an anterior sacral meningocele who presented with recurrent abortions. This increases risk to the mother and fetus. Magnetic resonance imaging is the investigation of choice. The diagnosis and surgical management of this case are discussed.
