Sacrococcygeal teratomas are rare tumors with an incidence of 1 in 40,000 births, accounting for nearly half of all fetal tumors. They are mostly benign but are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates because of fetal congestive heart failure leading to hydrops. We aim to highlight the role of fetal sonography in the diagnosis of SCT and present a case of Altman type 1 sacrococcygeal teratoma in a patient diagnosed at 30weeks of gestation which unfortunately resulted in an IUD.
Key words: Prenatal, sacrococcygeal teratoma, polyhydramnios, hydrops
