| Summary: | Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT) is one of the most frequent tumors of the newborn period. SCT is seen in varying sizes, and there is a relationship between the size and the clinical course. Postoperative prognosis of SCT with a low malign potential is good in the newborn period. Prenatal follow-up and postnatal management are rather important.
