Overview

The hallmark of sacrococcygeal teratoma is a protruding mass at the sacrococcygeal region. It is important to obtain the history about the onset, and the progression of the symptoms. Most common symptoms of sacrococcygeal teratoma are due to compression caused by the large tumor mass.

History and Symptoms

Symptoms of sacrococcygeal teratoma depend on the size of the tumor. [1]
