Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

Abstract

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is the most frequently encountered tumor in the fetus and newborn. It is also the most common extra-gonadal germ cell tumor. While the majority present at birth or prenatally because of a large sacral mass, a small but significant number of patients will present later on with symptoms of urinary or intestinal obstruction because they have a completely intra-pelvic tumor.
