Overview
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a teratoma (a kind of tumor) located at the base of the coccyx (tailbone). It is thought to be a derivative of the primitive streak.
Classification
SCTs are classified morphologically according to how much of them is outside or inside the body:
- Altman Type I — entirely external, sometimes attached to the body only by a narrow stalk
- Altman Type II
- Altman Type III
- Altman Type IV — entirely internal; this is a presacral teratoma
