1 Ankara Üniversitesi T p Fakültesi Kad n Hastal klar ve Do um AD. Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common tumors among newborns. Incidence of SCT ranges between 1/35 000 and 1/40 000. Not only the tumor’s vascularity but also the accompanying placentomegaly, polyhidramnios and fetal hidrops are the main predictors of fetal outcome. Here we describe our experience of a 22 weeks and 3 days pregnancy complicated with a fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma accompanied with cardiac sequale. In our case SCT was measured 80x78x72 mm (cranio caudal x transverse x antero posterior) in size. After appropriate counselling pregnancy was terminated.
