“…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 ].…”

Type IV sacrococcygeal teratoma with intraspinal involvement is rare and to our knowledge has not been reported previously in the literature. The authors present the case of a 2-month-old infant with a type IV sacrococcygeal teratoma diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound. Postnatal MRI revealed intraspinal extension through an enlarged sacral neuroforamina on the right side. On surgical exploration, the authors discovered a dorsal cystic tumor involving the sacral spine that extended through an enlarged S4 foramen to a large presacral component. The tumor was successfully removed to achieve a complete en bloc surgical resection. The authors review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of sacrococcygeal teratomas with intraspinal extension.

A-9-day old term female neonate presented with urinary retention secondary to an enlarging cystic pelvic mass.MRI showed a huge pre-sacral cystic mass which pushed the rectum and uterus anteriorly and the bowels superiorly. Excision of the cystic mass and removal of the coccyx (coccygectomy) were performed. Her urinary retention improved after surgery. We report an uncommon case of Type IV Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) causing urinary retention in a newborn.

“…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.…”

“…SCT may be falsely diagnosed as an anterior sacral meningocele, especially when presented as a posterior cystic mass [4, 5]. 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.…”

We report a rare case of congenital type III cystic teratoma that may be falsely diagnosed as an anterior sacral meningocele. A female newborn baby presented with a long, white-colored 4 × 1 cm coccygeal cyst posterior to the anus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated that a 10 × 4 cm elliptical intrapelvic and -abdominal mass anterior to the sacrum and coccyx extended inferiorly to the retrorectal space. We intraoperatively found that the cyst consisted of a mostly thin, white wall, but also with small posterior narrow nodules. We suggest that all cysts in the sacrococcygeal area should be excluded from teratoma carefully, with MRI.
