Huge fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma: Antenatal and postnatal management

14696

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is one of the most common fetal tumors (1/30000). Ultrasonography is an important method for diagnosis and following the SCT. Pregnancy can be managed by diagnosing the teratoma, monitoring its growth rate and fetal complications with the USG. Some complications such as fetal hydrops, dystocia, hemorrhage and rupture can be seen. In this report, we present a 25 year old woman with 25 weeks gestation according to her last menstrual date. We determined a 5x4 cm of sacrococcygeal teratoma through ultrasonographic examination.Because of the acute enlargement of the sacrococcygeal teratoma, a cesarian section was performed without complication at 36 gestational weeks with no fetal compromise developing such as fetal hydrops or placentomegaly.The fetus underwent surgery in the pediatric surgery. The sacrococcygeal teratoma was removed and the histopathology revealed immature teratoma. Neonates with SCT after exicision require long-term follow up for functional impairment. Management of the sacrococcygeal tumors are required with a multidiciplinal approach by the obstetrician, pediatrist and pediatric surgeon.
