RESUMO
Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the commonest solid tumor in neonates. Early identification and intervention is important, as the incidence of malignancy rises sharply with age. We retrospectively reviewed these cases presenting to the Islamabad Children's Hospital over a period of four years. A large number [50%] of patients presented late and 29% of these had malignant change. This underscores the need for good pickup and referral services
