Abstract:
Sacrococcygeal masses in neonates that appear benign, such as presumed lipomas, may conceal germ cell tumors. Careful clinical evaluation, functional anorectal assessment, and magnetic resonance imaging are essential to differentiate benign lesions from sacrococcygeal teratomas and guide appropriate surgical management and follow-up.

Teratogenicity
4.6K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
