Overview
Ultrasound is used to diagnose sacrococcygeal teratoma in second trimester.[1] Mature sacrococcygeal teratomas tend to be cystic, showing anechoic component. Immature sacrococcygeal teratomas are much rare and solid type, showing echogenic mass within the pelvis.[2] Echocardiography identifies high output cardiac state preceding hydrops fetalis.[3]
Key Ultrasound Findings in Sacrococcygeal Teratoma
- Prenatal ultrasound, is used in second trimester.[1]
- Sacrococcygeal teratoma presents as a mass near the distal spine.
- Sacrococcygeal teratoma having an external component may appear as a fluid-filled cyst or a solid mass sticking out from the body of the fetus.[4]
- Sonography may show tumor growth obstructing the bladder outlet and causing hydronephrosis.
- Prenatally diagnosed sacrococcygeal teratomas are mostly Altman I or II.
- Serial ultrasound evaluation of fetus, placenta and tumor is recommended to follow up on size and solid proportion of the tumor.
Key Echocardiography Findings in Sacrococcygeal Teratoma
- Fetal echocardiography is recommended in patients with solid or vascular tumors.[3]
- Echocardiography identifies high output cardiac state preceding hydrops fetalis.
