Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Teratoma comprised of mixed elements derived from the three germ cell layers.Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common congenital neoplasm in neonates.Fetiform teratoma is a rare but distinct entity characterized by presence of more organoid differentiation than the classical teratoma but not enough to classify as fetus in fetu. We report here in a case of 37 weeks old newborn baby girl delivered by normal vaginal route. The baby presented with a large soft cystic mass over sacrococcygeal region. Radiological examination show an extrapelvic soft tissue mass with variegated appearance. Complete excision of mass was done. On gross examination cut section show variegated appearance with presence of a rudimentary limb.Microscopic examination revealed the mass to be a mature sacrococcygeal teratoma. Mature sacrococcygeal teratoma appears to be entirely benign during neonatal period. Complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment.
