[Sacrococcigeal teratoma: report of three cases]

Germ cell tumors are originated from the primary stem cell located either in or outside the gonadal system. Teratomas are the major group, with the sacrococcygeal location being the most common extragonadal site, independent they are benign or malignant. We describe three cases of sacrococcygeal teratoma and emphasize aspects of diagnosis, surgical techniques and complementary approaches.
