Abstract:
The authors report the case of a 49-year-old man who had a sacrococcygeal teratoma. Computed tomography showed a mass containing calcification. Digital angiography showed hypervascularization of the lesion. Histologic examination of a transrectal biopsy performed during sigmoidoscopy revealed the lesion to be a malignant teratoma which was not resectable or amenable to treatment.
