Overview
Sacrococcygeal teratoma originates from the pluripotent cells in primitive knot or Hensen's node, which is the primary organizer of embryonic development, located on the anterior surface of the sacrum or coccyx by 2rd or 3rd gestational week.[1] Development of Sacrococcygeal teratoma is associated with gain of chromosomes 1q32-qter regions and losses of the 6q24-qter and 18q21-qter regions.[2][3] The pathophysiology of sacrococcygeal teratoma depends on the histological subtype.
Pathogenesis
Sacrococcygeal teratoma originates from the pluripotent cells in primitive knot or Hensen's node, which is the primary organizer of embryonic development, located on the anterior surface of the sacrum or coccyx by 2rd or 3rd gestational week.[4]
Genetics
Development of Sacrococcygeal teratoma is associated with gain of chromosomes 1q32-qter regions and losses of the 6q24-qter and 18q21-qter regions.[2][3]
Associated Conditions
Following conditions are associated with sacrococcygeal teratoma:
- Myelomeningocoele[5]
- Vertebral anomalies
- Bladder outlet obstruction
- Hydronephrosis
- Rectal stenosis or atresia
- Hydrops fetalis
- Cardiomegaly due to vascular shunting and high output cardiac failure

Microscopic Pathology
- Sacrococcygeal teratoma can be divided into following three types depending on the microscopic pathology:
- Mature teratoma:may consist of fully differentiated somatic tissue.[6]
- Immature teratoma: may consist of small fraction of incompletely differentiated tissue.
- Malignant teratoma:
- Around 20% of Sacrococcygeal teratomas are malignant.
- They have elevated tumor markers including yolk sac component secreting alpha fetoprotein or primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).
Grading Based Upon Microscopic Features
According to Gonzalez-Crussi System, Sacrococcygeal teratoma is graded on a scale from 0-3, based on the histology:[7][8]
Grade | Microscopic Features |
---|---|
Grade 0 |
|
Grade I |
|
Grade II |
|
Grade III |
