Abstract
- Teratomas are neoplasm composed of a wide variety of tissues foreign to the organs or anatomic sites in which they arise. Teratomas generally arise in gonads but a few cases are described in extragonadal sites, such as sacro-coccygeal region, mediastinum, neck, and retroperitoneum. Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common solid tumor to occur in neonates, in whom it mostly takes the form of an obvious exophytic mass. They are, however, rarely found in adults. We report the adult case of deep retroperitoneal, sacrococcygeal teratoma involving right lateral vaginal wall with successfully complete surgical excision.
