“…The tumor is derived from the pluripotential cell line originating in Hensen’s node that lies within the coccyx, and contains components arising from all three germ layers [10]. The tumors are classified into four types according to the Altman Classification of the Surgical Section of the American Academy of Pediatrics: type I, predominantly external tumors projecting from the sacrococcygeal region and presenting with distortion of the buttocks; type II, predominantly external tumors, but with a large intrapelvic component; type III, predominantly intrapelvic tumors with a small external, buttock mass; type IV, entirely internal tumors with no external or buttock component [8]. However, the case presented here could not be classified into any of the above-mentioned categories.…”

“…There have been many previous reports to date that spinal dysraphism is usually accompanied by several anomalies, including skin protrusion, pigmentation, sinus formation, and subcutaneous or spinal lipomas [4,5,6,7]. Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common congenital tumor of infants, and usually develops in the anterior portion of the sacrococcygeal area extending to the retroperitoneal space, bladder, anus and buttocks [8]. …”

Teratoma in Human Tail Lipoma

et al. 2005

We report a case of a rare congenital teratoma that developed in a lipoma attached to a remnant human tail. A male newborn baby presented with a large, 3-cm mass with an open margin, which pedunculated from a tail attached to the midline skin of the coccygeal area. Magnetic resonance images demonstrated multiple sacral spinal bifida without cord tethering, and also showed neural roots and a lipoma and teratoma with peripheral homogeneous high density and internal low density on T₂- weighted images. Intraoperatively, we found and dissected two nerve roots from the filum terminale which extended into the mass. Pathologic examination of the mass revealed abnormal differentiation of respiratory epithelium and squamous cell metaplasia along the open margin of the mass, and mainly lipoma in the rest of the mass. We suggest that this case could support the hypothesis of transient teratomatous cells in the pathogenesis of the spina bifida with lumbosacral lipoma.

“…Predominantly cystic SCTs are usually benign, while type I lesions are almost always benign [1]. Ein et al [13] suggested that the functioning choroid plexus might be responsible for the cystic components of SCTs.…”

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.

GRAVIDA 2, para 1 mother at 23 weeks' gestation delivered vaginally on termination of pregnancy a 520 g stillborn female fetus (Figure 1) with multiple skeletal and central nervous system anomalies. The pregnancy was uncomplicated without signs or symptoms of infection. The mother denied tobacco, alcohol, or other drug use. Postmortem radiographic studies (Figure 2) disclosed short lower extremities with anterior bowing of the femurs, tibias, and fibulas as well as 11 paired thin ribs. At autopsy, SPECIAL FEATURE
