Carcinoid tumor in a presacral teratoma associated with an anterior sacral meningocele: case report and review of the literature.
We report a case of a presacral teratoma containing a malignant carcinoid component associated with an anterior sacral meningocele that presented in a 35-year-old woman. The clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of these rare tumors, of presacral meningoceles, and of the hereditary presacral teratoma syndrome are discussed.
