Abstract

A rare case of sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) with a fully formed accessory limb. SCT is a neoplasm arising from the lumbosacral spine, usually a benign mature teratoma. This rare presentation of SCT, to our knowledge is the 7th case reported in the literature and is the first in the Pacific. Surgical treatment requires early vascular control, complete removal of the SCT and coccygectomy.
