An Aberrant Case of Sacrococcygeal Teratoma in a Female Infant Born of Twin Pregnancy

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is an uncommon infantile tumor. It has a female preponderance with malignant variants being more common in males. These usually manifest as palpable masses over the sacral region in infancy which may or may not be associated with neural tube defects. An initial radiological investigation is warranted to analyze the extent and components of the mass to guide an approach for surgical excision. We present a classic case of an SCT in a female infant born as a twin. This mass was evaluated radiologically by X-ray and ultrasound followed by histopathological correlation. This is a case of Altman Type-I lesion and was confirmed as a mature teratoma on histopathological examination.
