Management of preterm giant sacrococcygeal teratoma (GSCT) with an excellent outcome

Hydrocephalus secondary to chemotherapy in a case of prenatally diagnosed giant immature grade 3 sacrococcygeal teratoma

INTRODUCTION Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare tumor in the general population, arising from multipotent stem cells. Whereas most of the cases diagnosed postnatally have good prognosis, the rate of mortality and morbidities associated with prenatally diagnosed SCT remain high, with a reported mortality rate of 30% to 50%. The outcome of fetal SCT can be unpredictable, with some cases with...

Successful Postnatal Management of Ruptured Giant Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

Most sacrococcygeal teratomas present between the 22nd and the 34th week of gestation. The diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma on routine antenatal sonograms is associated with a greater than expected incidence of prenatal and perinatal complications. We report a premature baby with intrauterine spontaneous rupture of giant sacrococcygeal teratoma which was managed successfully.

Large Foetal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma Complicated by Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes and Maternal Preeclampsia

Sacrococcygeal teratoma in adults: case report and literature review.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is one of the most common tumours in infants but rare in adults. We present a case of sacrococcygeal teratoma in a female adult. The clinical presentation, radiological and histological findings, management, and outcome are described.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma: a case report and a review of literature.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a congenital tumour, which may present in the prenatal period or at birth. The case presented illustrated one of the complications of sacrococcygeal teratoma, which is tumour rupture at birth. Other complications include fetal hydrops, fetal hydronephrosis, cervical dystocia, bleeding and death. Currently, diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma is made during the prenat...
