Abstract:
Sacroccygeal teratoma(SCT) occurs in every 40,000 births and is the most common tumor in newborns. SCT predominantly develops in females and is almost always located in the gonadal or coccygeal region. Althoug the majority of tumors are usually benign, malignant degeneration is common and the prognosis is generally guraded. Therefore the early prenatal diagnosis and treatment are very important. The authors observed a case of SCT which was diagnosed by ultrasonagrapy at 30 weeks' gestation following IVF-ET procedure. Surgical removal of SCT of newborn was performed successfully following cesarean delivery at 38 weeks' gestation. The authors report this case with a brief review of the literatures.
