%X Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) are uncommon congenital tumors that
typically develop in newborns, they are rarely associated with chromosomal
abnormalities or other congenital anomalies. The majority of pediatric
teratomas are benign in the neonatal age group, but the risk of malignancy
increases with age. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical,
radiological, and hormonal findings, but confirmed by anatomopathological
study. Treatment is primarily surgical, with the aim of achieving complete
resection to prevent recurrence.</span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">We
