Sacrococcygeal teratoma tumors are more frequent in infants alive. It is characterized by its benign histology in the majority of the cases diagnosed prenatally; it is necessary to follow narrow to prevent neonatal complications that can lead to urinary tract complications and fecal, high-output heart failure, hydrops and, in extreme cases, the death of the fetus.
Case report: Primigravidae 30 years old, with gestation twins, bicorial, biamniotic in the first trimester of pregnancy to one of the twins is diagnosed sacrococcygeus teratoma giant, with favorable monitoring in the maternal-fetal Medicine Unit of the University Hospital of La Paz in Madrid, and with postnatal resection surgery successful. We review the diagnostic procedures and treatment of this tumor in unique and twin gestations.
