Although the sacrococcygeal area is the most common site for a teratoma in infants, it is a rare site for a teratoma in older patients. Most of the teratomas found in this area in adults are single mass, but in a few cases, multiple masses have been reported. The author reports on the case of an 18-year-old female patient with 3 presacral teratomas. The tumors were surgically removed via a transabdominal approach and were pathologically diagnosed as mature cystic teratomas. This case report indicates that an adult presacral teratoma can appear as multiple tumors, although it is very unusual.
尽管骶尾部是婴儿畸胎瘤最常见的发生部位,但在老年患者中却是罕见部位。成人该部位发现的大多数畸胎瘤为单个肿块,但少数病例报告有多发性肿块。作者报告了一例18岁女性患者,有3个骶前畸胎瘤。肿瘤经腹手术切除,病理诊断为成熟囊性畸胎瘤。本病例报告表明,成人骶前畸胎瘤虽非常见情况,但可表现为多发性肿瘤。
