J Clin Med 2024; 13:2649. [PMID: 38731178 PMCID: PMC11084939 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13092649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) submitted to prenatal interventions. Methods: We performed a systematic literature review of fetal SCT patients and compared the outcomes between open fetal surgery and percutaneous intervention. In addition, we also compared the results of SCT fetuses who did not undergo any surgical intervention (NI). Results: We identified 16 cases of open fetal surgery (OS), 48 cases of percutaneous fetal intervention (PI), and 93 NI patients. The survival rate was 56.2% in OS, 45.8% in PI (p = 0.568), and 71.0% in NI patients. The gestational age at delivery was earlier in cases where there was no survival compared to cases where the fetuses did survive across all evaluated cohorts (OS: p = 0.033, PI: p < 0.001, NI: p < 0.001). The gestational weeks at delivery in OS and PI fetuses were more similar; however, OS tended to be performed later on in pregnancy, and the affected fetuses had more severe presented findings. In our evaluation, we determined that the presence of fetal hydrops and cardiac failure had no significant impact on survival in SCT cases. In NI patients, polyhydramnios was much higher in fetuses who did not survive compared to their surviving cohorts (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, gestational age at delivery can affect the short-term prognosis of fetuses affected with sacrococcygeal teratomas. Regardless of the mode of delivery or the necessity for intervention during the fetal period, monitoring for complications, including polyhydramnios, can prevent premature delivery.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the MRI findings of fetal abdominal or sacrococcygeal teratomas and parasitic fetuses and analyze the outcomes on the basis of follow-up assessments. Methods The MRI data of 60 cases of abdominal or sacrococcygeal masses were examined. The outcomes were followed up and compared with the prenatal MRI diagnoses. Results The 60 cases included 52 cases of sacrococcygeal teratomas and eight cases of abdominal lesions. The common types of sacrococcygeal teratomas were type I (21/52, 40.4%) and type II (20/52, 38.5%); type III sacrococcygeal teratomas were rarer (8/52, 15.4%), while type IV tumors (3/52, 5.7%) were frequently complicated with hydronephrosis. Other complications included polyhydramnios in 22 cases, placental edema in six cases, and fetal hydronephrosis in three cases (all type IV). Seven of the eight parasitic fetuses were located in the abdominal cavity, and one was located in the sacrococcygeal region. Postnatal surgery was performed in 51 cases (51/60), including 44 with teratomas and seven with parasitic fetuses. In one case with hydronephrosis, peritoneal effusion, and subcutaneous edema, treatment was discontinued after birth (1/60). Fetal induction of labor was observed in eight cases (8/60). Prenatal ultrasound yielded incorrect or ambiguous diagnoses in 11 cases, while 51 cases showed a favorable course after surgery. Conclusions MRI shows high accuracy in the diagnosis of fetal sacrococcygeal teratomas and parasitic fetuses. The prognosis in these cases is generally good. However, type IV sacrococcygeal teratomas are prone to fetal hydronephrosis and misdiagnosis and show a poorer prognosis.

Abstract
We present the case of a woman diagnosed with a teratoma adherent to the vaginal wall. The patient had been misdiagnosed with an ovarian teratoma 8 years previously at her local hospital, but no mass was found in the pelvic cavity during cesarean section. She therefore attended our institution for further examination. Transvaginal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) revealed a large mass on the left side at the bottom of the pelvis, near the side of the vagina, mainly composed of greasy and cystic elements. Gynecological examination showed the mass protruding into the left side of the vaginal wall. The patient therefore underwent vaginal wall incision. During surgery, we found a mass adherent to the vaginal wall, located on the left front of the rectum. Surgery was completed successful with no complications. This case highlights the need for careful preoperative evaluation of teratomas with unusual locations. MRI and CT may be useful for identifying the origin of the tumor and determining its relationship with the surrounding tissues. Surgery should be based on the characteristics and anatomical location of the tumor to minimize damage to other tissues and organs.

Abstract
Sacrococcygeal teratoma is rare and happens in 1:35,000 to 40,000 live births. It is more common in girls than boys with the reported ratio of 3:1 to 4:1. We herein report an unusual case of a huge sacrococcygeal teratoma, which was more than half of the size and weight of the baby which was terminated at 24 weeks of gestation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical, imaging, and histological features, and surgical resection modalities and outcomes of adult sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT). METHODS Adult patients with histopathologically diagnosed SCT were enrolled in our hospital between August 2010 and August 2018. Each patient's characteristics and clinical information were reviewed. RESULTS There were 8 patients in the study (2 males, 6 females) with a median age of 34 years (range, 18-67 years). The time to clinical symptoms was 14 d to 35 years, with a median time of 4 years. Six patients presented with symptoms of sacrococcygeal pain, and four with signs of sacrococcygeal mass and ulceration in the sacrococcygeal region. Six patients were evaluated using a combination of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All patients showed a presacral tumor with heterogeneous intensity on CT images. All patients underwent surgical treatment, including 6 parasacral, 1 transabdominal, and 1 combined anterior-posterior surgery cases. Seven patients were histopathologically diagnosed with benign mature SCT, and have shown no recurrence. One patient had malignant SCT, with recurrence at 84 months after surgery. After a second surgery, the patient had no recurrence within 6 months follow-up after re-resection. CONCLUSIONS Our retrospective study demonstrated: (1) adult SCT is difficult to diagnose because of a lack of typical clinical symptoms and signs; (2) a combination of CT and MRI examination is beneficial for preoperative diagnosis; (3) the choice of surgical approach and surgical resection modality depends on the size, location, and components of the tumor, which can be defined from preoperative CT and MRI evaluation; (4) most adult SCTs are benign; the surgical outcome for the malignant SCT patient was good after complete resection. Even for the patient with recurrent malignant SCT, the surgical outcome was good after re-resection.

Abstract
We report here a rare case of adult sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) that was pathologically diagnosed as signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). A 26-year-old man complained of lower abdominal distension and discomfort and difficulty in urinating, and he was admitted to our hospital. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple oval, solid-cystic masses around the anterior sacrococcygeal region that measured approximately 96 × 114 × 89 mm. Magnetic resonance imaging also showed irregular cysts around the posterior sacrococcygeal region that measured approximately 34 × 72 × 60 mm. The preliminary diagnosis was cystic SCT. The patient then underwent surgery, during which we incised the cysts. A large amount of viscous, jelly-like liquid was present in the anterior sacrococcygeal mass. Furthermore, a large amount of light yellow, porridge-like secretion was present in the posterior sacrococcygeal mass. A pathological examination and immunohistochemistry confirmed teratoma, specifically SRCC.
