Sacrococcygeal teratoma is the most common germ cell neoplasia that consists of tissues derived from primitive germ layers. Approximately 10-20% of patients are malignant. Because of the high rate of recurrence, treatment strategies for malignant sacrococcygeal teratomas are limited. Hence, we report a case of malignant sacrococcygeal teratoma treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy and review the literature. This case report indicates that chemoradiation plus adjuvant chemotherapy may be a treatment option for malignant SCT which is not technically resectable or with residual lesion after surgery.

Background: Pediatric germ cell tumor (GCT) with extensive cavo-atrial tumor thrombus presenting as an oncologic emergency is extremely rare.
Observation: A 13-month-old female child with sacrococcygeal GCT having inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrial thrombus presenting with anasarca and respiratory distress is reported. Because of worsening symptoms post initiation of chemotherapy, tumor thrombus debulking from the right atrium and distal end of IVC was performed on day 9 on an emergency basis.

Article Synopsis
- Chordomas are rare, slow-growing cancers that often occur in the lower spine area and require surgical removal, which can leave significant defects.
- Traditional reconstruction methods often use musculocutaneous flaps, leading to higher complications at the donor site; hence, there is a need for better techniques that reduce these issues.
- This case report introduces a new reconstruction method using gluteus maximus muscle advancement and superior gluteal artery perforator flaps for a patient after chordoma removal, resulting in successful recovery and minimal complications at the donor site during follow-up.
