It can cause significant fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality due to its size, vascular loading, possible rupture, and labor dystocia. Mostly cystic teratomas have favorable prognosis, but if untreated in uter...

Diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma using two and three-dimensional ultrasonography: two cases reported and a literature review.

The occurrence of a fetal tumor is rare, 50% of all fetal tumors being sacrococcygeal teratomas. Prenatal diagnosis of this condition is important for the monitoring of the affected fetuses and for establishing the mode and time of delivery. We describe two cases of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma diagnosed by 2D- and 3D-ultrasound. Three-dimensional ultrasound proved to be useful both in the dia...
