Overview
The hallmark of sacrococcygeal teratoma is a protruding mass at the sacrococcygeal region. It is important to obtain the history about the onset, and the progression of the symptoms. Most common symptoms of sacrococcygeal teratoma are due to compression caused by the large tumor mass.[1]
History and symptoms
Symptoms of sacrococcygeal teratoma depend on the size of the tumor. [1]
- Small sacrococcygeal teratomas are asymptomatic.
- Sacrococcygeal teratomas progressively grow in the fetus.
- Large tumor growth diverts high blood flow from the circulation to the fetus resulting in hydrops and fetal heart failure.
- Hydrops presents as cardiac dilation and fluid collection in interstitial tissue along with thoracic and abdominal cavities causing pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites respectively.
- Hydrops fetalis can also cause similar condition in mother called mirror syndrome presenting with swelling, hypertension, and pleural effusion.
