Immature presacral teratoma in an adult female.
A case of immature presacral teratoma in an adult female presenting in pregnancy is described. She remains free of disease 12 months following treatment with a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels appeared to correlate more with tumor "aggression" than with tumor growth.
