“…It is obvious that during the first and early second trimesters the size of an SCT relative to the size of the fetus is small, in comparison with this relationship at birth. It is known that ultrasonographic diagnosis of SCT in the late second and third trimesters is easily possible (Horger and McCarter, 1979;Grisoni et al, 1988). However, only very few reports exist on early diagnosis of fetal SCT, the earliest time being the 14th gestational week (Kuhlman et al, 1987).…”

Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein and Epithelial Tumour Marker Concentrations Are Not Increased by Fetal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

1997

Maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) and total beta‐human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) concentrations were measured at the 15th gestational week in ten pregnancies complicated by fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma. The findings corresponded to those in normal pregnancies. Similarly, third‐trimester concentrations of cancer antigen 12‐5, tumour‐associated trypsin inhibitor, and the amino‐terminal propeptide of type III procollagen in the maternal serum were not significantly elevated. Histologically mature and immature/malignant cases did not differ from each other as regards the above‐mentioned parameters. This abnormality cannot be detected by maternal serum trisomy screening in the second trimester. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of SCT is possible (Seeds et al, 1982;Grisoni et al, 1988). Very few cases, however, are diagnosed in the first or early second trimester of pregnancy (Kuhlman et al, 1987;Holzgreve et al, 1987).…”

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.

“…Typical antepartal ultrasonic findings in SCT have been published by several authors (2)(3)(4)(5). The size of the primary SCT, the degree of pelvic invasion and in some reports the type of the contents of the tumor have been linked to risk of malignant development (6,7).…”
