Abstract

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT), a rare germ cell malignancy in newborns, necessitates prompt surgical intervention for complete resection. Long-term follow-up is crucial for monitoring recurrence and managing potential complications, regardless of histopathological findings, ensuring optimal outcomes and early intervention if needed.
