Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) are uncommon congenital tumors that typically develop in newborns, they are rarely associated with chromosomal abnormalities or other congenital anomalies. The majority of pediatric teratomas are benign in the neonatal age group, but the risk of malignancy increases with age. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical, radiological, and hormonal findings, but confirmed by anatomopathological study. Treatment is primarily surgical, with the aim of achieving complete resection to prevent recurrence. We present the case of a 22-month-old child who was admitted for management of a sacrococcygeal mass and was diagnosed with an immature teratoma.

Though rare, tumors in newborns are estimated with an incidence of 1 in every 12,500 to 27,500 live births, and they can become a complicated and significant problem for every neonatal unit, particularly in the absence of prenatal diagnosis. In this case report, we describe a patient with an unexpected sacrococcygeal teratoma, suspected on the first day after birth due to a gluteal asymmetry, investigated with ultrasound in a neonatal department and deepened with magnetic resonance, and finally referred to neonatal surgery consultants with final positive outcome.
