Neonatal sacrococcygeal teratoma: multiimaging modality assessment.
Neonatal sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare and potentially malignant tumor. We report on four cases of neonatal SCT, in which ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used preoperatively to accurately establish the extent of the tumor and its relationship to the surrounding anatomic structures. This approach facilitates complete surgical resection and optimal outcome.
