Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a common congenital neoplasm. This tumor contains derivatives ofmore than one of the three embryonic germ cell layers e.g. ectoderm, mesoderm & endodermand usually arises as a mass in the sacrococcygeal region. Here we are reporting a case of hugesacrococcygeal teratoma presenting as a lower abdominal and perineal mass in a thirteen-yearoldschoolgirl, which is very rare.doi: 10.3329/taj.v16i2.3888TAJ December 2003; Vol.16(2): 76-78

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is derived from embryonic germ cell layers and is one of the commonest tumours in infants. It is the most commonly occurring solid congenital tumours in the foetus and the new born. It is very rare in adults with less than a hundred cases documented in literature, with even rarer cases of male presentation. We report a case of a 26-year-old adult male presenting with a sacrococcygeal teratoma who was treated in our hospital along with its literature review.

AbstractBackground:Hairy polyps are rare congenital growths of the head and neck, mainly found in the nasopharynx and oropharynx. They are made up of two germ cell layers: the ectoderm and mesoderm.Methods:This paper reports a four-month-old who presented with breathing and feeding difficulties. Clinical examination was unremarkable, but a video taken by the patient's mother on her smartphone showed a mass protruding from the infant's mouth. Laryngoscopy performed in the operating theatre showed that the mass emanated from the left posterior tonsillar pillar.Results:The mass was removed transorally with no complications. Pathological examination showed a skin-covered pedunculated structure characteristic of a hairy polyp. The patient's follow up was unremarkable.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the second English-language case report of a patient with a hairy polyp emanating from a posterior tonsillar pillar. This paper also highlights the growing usage of smartphones by patients to help physicians with their diagnosis and management.

Introduction: Germ Cell Tumors (GCT) represent less than 4% of primary brain tumors. They comprise Germaniums, Non-Germinomatous Germ Cell Tumors and Teratomas. Teratomas represent less than 20% of intracranial GCT. They are tumors of multipotential cells derived from all 3 germ cell layers, frequently arising in midline structures, most commonly in the pineal and suprasellar regions, with a clear excess of male cases and frequently found in children and young adults. We report a case of a mature teratoma in the third ventricle in a 37-year-old male. Case Report: We report a case of a 37-year-old male with a history of headache lasting up to 9 days and refractory to pharmacological treatment. The CT scan revealed a 20mm round hypodense lesion in the anterior third ventricle, with a punctate hyperdensity in the inferior pole causing biventricular hydrocephalus with no periventricular lucency and the MRI showed a well-defined encapsulated mass lesion attached to the roof of the third ventricle, isointense in T1WI with circumferential enhancement and hyperintense in T2WI. Gross total resection was performed. Histopathologic evaluation revealed a mature teratoma. There was no evidence of recurrence on follow up MRI at 2 years. Conclusion: Intracranial teratomas typically originate in midline structures from optic chiasm to pineal region. Presentation after the first two decades of life is exceptional. Complete surgical resection is the only curative treatment for pure mature teratomas. We report the case of a mature teratoma in a 37-year-old male with unusual radiological findings.

A choristoma is a benign tumour-like mass consisting of mature tissue derived from one or more germ cell layers that are foreign to the site at which they are located. Choristomas of the pharynx are rare with few cases being reported in the English literature. Management of these lesions is usually complete surgical excision. We report a case of osteocartilaginous choristoma arising from the pharynx.

Teratomas are germ cell tumours composed of multiple types of cells derived from more than a single germ cell layer. The most common site of an extra gonadal teratoma is the sacrococcygeal region. We report a case of a 10-day-old female child with a large swelling in the sacrococcygeal region extending laterally into the buttocks. X-ray showed a large mass projecting from the lower pelvic region and delineate the extent of the tumour and the involvement of tissues. Image findings and clinical presentation led to the diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma. Tumour was surgically excised with prior pre-anaesthetic checkup, post-operative period was uneventful. She was discharged with advice to come in follow-up surgical outpatient clinic. There was no evidence of tumour recurrence till 1 year of age. She had normal growth curve for her age with normal developmental milestones.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT), although rare, is the most common congenital neoplasm in neonates. A mass in the sacrococcygeal region at the time of birth is the usual presentation. Routine antenatal abdominal ultrasound of mother can detect almost all the cases. The prognosis is favorable when diagnosis is done antenatally and proper management is instituted soon after the baby is born. Presented herein a 2 days old neonate with a neglected SCT who died unfortunately due to massive bleeding from the tumor. A brief review of the literature has been presented to make everyone aware of the condition so that future recurrence of such sad events may be avoided.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i2.10448Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(2) 2015 108-110

Day By Day

Sacrococcygeal teratomas are a type of germ cell tumour (GCTs) accounting for 40% of all GCTs of all GCT,s in children. Interestingly 75% occurs in females. Reporting here a case of 3 years old female baby hospitalized for surgical excision of sacrococcygeal teratoma. A female (3-year-old) patient was referred to the pediatric outpatient department at Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital Wardha on 19th May 2021. Complaining of swelling on right gluteal region Since 6 month and swelling is increases day by day, pain in back side, fever (Temperature - 101˚F) and tenderness in back side, leg weakness, constipation and she was admitted to Pediatric ward. Surgical excision of sacrocogygeal teratoma was done during her hospitalization. She received one cycle of chemotherapy with antineoplastic medicines. The client discharged after 10 days stay in hospital.
