“…As ultrasound technology has improved, an increasing number of reports have described the prenatal diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratomas with sonography [ 22 , 34 ]. Some diagnosed as early as 18-week gestation [ 4 ]. One report has even described the diagnosis of a sacrococcygeal terataoma with intraspinal involvement on a prenatal ultrasound [ 15 ].…”

“…Ein et al [13] suggested that the functioning choroid plexus might be responsible for the cystic components of SCTs. Many cases of type I large cystic variants have been reported in the past literature [5, 11, 14], and some cases of type II [4, 11] and type IV [6,7,8,9, 14], but no case of type III cystic teratoma has been observed, especially those with a nonepithelialized external cyst.…”

Many cases of type I and few of type II and IV large cystic variants of SCT have been reported in the past literature [4,5,6,7,8,9], but as yet no case of type III cystic SCT has been described.…”
