Abstract:
Although rare, sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most frequent congenital tumor and often benign, detectable before birth by obstetrical ultrasound during pregnancy follow-up. We report the case of a patient with a poorly followed pregnancy in whom the ultrasound scan during an etiological workup of hydramnios revealed the presence of a sacro-coccygeal cystic lesion suggestive of a type I teratoma that was managed by pediatric surgeons after birth. The prognosis of this tumor depends on the precocity of the diagnosis and treatment, which should always be considered in case of associated hydramnios.
