Abstract
Accurate prenatal sonographic diagnosis of many congenital anomalies is now possible. Fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma may be associated with a very good prognosis by utilizing prenatal diagnosis, proper intrapartum management, detailed neonatal preoperative delineation, and complete surgical excision of the tumor [1].
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is the most common tumor of the newborn with a reported incidence of 1 in 40,000 live births [2]. Most of these cases are asymptomatic during pregnancy and diagnosed at birth. However, with the improving accuracy of ultrasonography, there have been increasingly frequent reports of antenatal diagnosis of SCT in the literature. We report on a case of SCT prenatally diagnosed and its management.
