Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: Teratomas are tumours of one or more of the three germ cell layers. It originates from remnant totipotent embryonic cells (primitive streak) during migration. Teratoma in neonates, infants and children (<4year), in adults is rare. Sacrococcygeal region is the most common site. The present study is a case report of sacroccygeal teratoma in a 30 week still birth foetus. The study was conducted in Department of Anatomy, RIMS and the case was found among the routinely collected foetuses for thesis and research purposes, from the Obs & Gyna, Dept. RIMS. The mass was measured, radiologically examined using digital X-Ray, dissected and then histologically examined by routine H&E staining. Mass measured 17x14 cm and 15x12 cm on right and left sides. Solid, cystic areas and brownish paste like haemorrhagic areas were observed within the mass. Dissected foetal tissue grossly showed developing bones namely tibia, femur and hip bone with associated muscles. Histologically, adipose tissues, foetal cartilage, developing hair follicles were seen abnormally. Foetal studies on sacrococcygeal carcinoma by gross dissection and histological method are rare. Identification of nature of cells by histology may influence the model of treatment.
