Abstract

Background: Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a neonates tumor with an incidence of 1/40,000 births. Derived from Hensens knot which failed regression during embryonal development. The classification was made based on ultrasonography, histopathology, and degree of extension criteria. Monitoring of maternal condition and prenatal management of complications that occur can provide a better prognosis

Case illustration: 29 years old nulliparous, 38-39 weeks of gestational age complaints abdominal pain accompanied by a bloody discharge. Mass was detected in the fetal sacrococcygeal area on 23-24 weeks. The patient was treated at 38-39 weeks. The baby was born by C-section weight 4375 grams, APGAR scores 7/9 with a mass in the sacrococcygeal region 40x20x18 cm in size. The SCT was excised. Anatomical pathologic examination reveals an immature teratoma

Conclusion: Early diagnosis and prenatal management of SCT can provide a better prognosis for SCT
