- Presacral tumors are rare, especially in children, and can come from different cell types that develop during embryonic growth.
- A case study of a 13-year-old girl showed initial imaging suggested a tailgut cyst, but surgery revealed it was actually a mature cystic teratoma, which is unusual for her age.
- The surgery required careful dissection due to adhesions, and the diagnosis highlights the importance of surgical exploration over just imaging to accurately identify and treat presacral masses.
