SERTOLI OR LEYDIG CELL TUMORS

75
Q

Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

A

Most common tumor of fetus or infant

Solid and/or cystic

Often benign when found early (< 2months)

Deeper in pelvis = worse prognosis

Often arise from coccyx so coccyx needs to be removed with resection or will recur

Mass effect is the issue:

  • on GI system, hip dislocation, nerve compression leading to incompetence
