Abstract

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common congenital tumor with relatively uncommon incidence in adult population. Somatic malignancy arising in sacrococcygeal teratoma is a rare phenomena arising in long standing cases. Association with mucinous adenocarcinoma is extremely rare with only few case reports in the published literature. We herein report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma arising in a background of sacrococcygeal teratoma with emphasis on the clinico pathological profile and post operative management of such cases.
Key Messages: Somatic malignancy such as Mucinous adenocarcinoma are rarely associated with Sacrococcygeal teratoma. Adequate histopathologic sampling and microscopy is essential to clinch the diagnosis for post operative management of these patients which subsequently have a tremendous impact on patient outcome.

Keywords: Teratoma, Sarcococcygeal, Mucinous adenocarcinoma, Adult.
