Abstract

Objective. To study the clinical and morphological characteristics of neonatal sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT). Subjects and methods. Sixteen newborn infants (10 girls and 6 boys) were operated on for SCT in 2005 to 2010. Results. All the cases of SCT were shown to be ultrasonographically diagnosed at 14-35 weeks (mean 24.4 weeks) of gestation. Labor occurred at 29-39 weeks (mean 36.6 weeks) of gestation, 15 of them underwent cesarean section. SCT sizes varied from 4 to 20 cm. Among the study teratomas, types 1 and 2 were diagnosed in 8 and 6 patients, respectively; type 3 was found in 1 case and type 4 in 1. A morphological study revealed mature teratomas in 15 cases and an immature benign teratoma in 1. Conclusion. The paper underlines the need for an adequate SCT morphological study that defines the specific features of postoperative patient management.
