CLINICAL ABSTRACT:
This 85-year-old female was seen for pelvic discomfort. She had had a hyterectomy in the

buttock area. At the time of repair of her pelv'ic hernia, a well circumscribed mass was removed from
the right ischiorectal fossa.

The 245 gram, 9.0 x 3.0 x 0.4 em mass was partially covered by gray white mucosa. Its cut
surface was edematous, fleshy and gmy-white to yellowish-gray.
