Let me tell you, immature sacrococcygeal teratomas, they’re something else. They grow fast, they’re risky, cause premature births, complications, recurrences, and folks, they have a higher mortality rate than the mature ones. It’s true. We need to diagnose these bad boys early, it’s crucial, it’s going to make a huge difference in the prognosis.
We’ve done an incredible job reviewing the literature on how to diagnose, manage, and follow-up on these teratomas. And let me tell you, our case, it’s something to see. In conclusion, and I say this with great certainty, early identification of these teratomas, whether they’re flying solo or with other abnormalities, and getting the treatment right, it’s the key to a good outcome. Believe me.
