Malignant Sacrococcygeal Teratoma with Yolk Sac Differentiation: A Rare Case Report

Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) are the most common germ cell tumours in neonates and infants, with malignant transformation often observed in postnatal cases. Yolk sac tumour (YST) is the most frequent malignant germ cell component seen in SCTs. We report a case of a 3-month-old infant presenting with a Type II SCT, showing histopathological features of yolk sac tumour differentiation.

Abstract

Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) are the most common germ cell tumours in neonates and infants, with malignant transformation often observed in postnatal cases. Yolk sac tumour (YST) is the most frequent malignant germ cell component seen in SCTs. We report a case of a 3-month-old infant presenting with a Type II SCT, showing histopathological features of yolk sac tumour differentiation.
