==Overview==
==Overview==
'''Sacrococcygeal teratoma''' (SCT) is a [[teratoma]] (a kind of tumor) located at the base of the [[coccyx]] (tailbone). It is thought to be a derivative of the [[primitive streak]].
Depending on the extent of the [[tumor]] invasion at the time of [[diagnosis]], the [[prognosis]] may vary. Most of the sacrococcygeal teratomas are [[benign]] in nature and [[prognosis]] is generally regarded as good after [[resection]]. The sacrococcygeal teratoma with [[Cyst|cystic]] [[morphology]] is associated with the most favorable [[prognosis]].


==Natural History==
==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==
Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common type of [[germ cell tumor]]s (both [[benign]] and [[malignant]]) diagnosed in [[neonates]], [[infants]], and [[children]] younger than 4 years.<ref>[http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/extracranial-germ-cell/HealthProfessional/page6 (PDQ) Sacrococcygeal Tumors in Children]</ref> 


===Fetal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma===
=== Natural History ===
*Presents during prenatal ultrasound exams, with or without maternal symptoms
Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common type of [[germ cell tumor]]s (both [[benign]] and [[malignant]]) [[Diagnosis|diagnosed]] in [[neonates]], [[infants]], and [[children]] younger than 4 years.<ref name="Nhist">Sacrococcygeal teratoma.

*Found during routine exams tend to be small and partly or entirely external
*The internal Sacrococcygeal teratomas are not easily seen via ultrasound, unless they are large enough to reveal their presence by the abnormal position of the fetal [[urinary bladder]] and other organs, but large fetal SCTs frequently produce maternal complications which necessitate non-routine, investigative ultrasounds.


===Neonatal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma===
====Fetal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma====
*Presents at birth protruding from the sacral site and is usually mature or immature teratoma
*Found during [[Obstetrics|prenatal]] [[Medical ultrasonography|ultrasonography]], with or without maternal [[Symptom|symptoms]]
*Tends to be small and partly or entirely external
*The internal sacrococcygeal teratomas are not easily seen via [[ultrasound]], unless they are large enough to reveal their presence by the abnormal position of the [[Fetus|fetal]] [[urinary bladder]] and other [[Organ (anatomy)|organs]]

Overview

Depending on the extent of the tumor invasion at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. Most of the sacrococcygeal teratomas are benign in nature and prognosis is generally regarded as good after resection. The sacrococcygeal teratoma with cystic morphology is associated with the most favorable prognosis.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common type of germ cell tumors (both benign and malignant) diagnosed in neonates, infants, and children younger than 4 years.[1]

Neonatal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

  • The tumor presents as a protruding mass from the sacral region and is usually mature or immature teratoma.
