Article Synopsis
  • Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a rare congenital tumor with unclear risks of malignancy and recurrence, prompting a study to better understand these factors.
  • A global retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 3,612 SCT patients across 145 institutes in 62 countries, focusing on malignant transformation and recurrence rates.
  • Results showed that the risk of malignancy increases with age, plateauing at six years, while 10.2% of patients experienced recurrence, with significant associations related to tumor type and initial histology.
