Pediatric Intraocular Immature Teratoma Associated With Sacrococcygeal Teratoma

Kristen E Zhelnin et al. Pediatr Dev Pathol. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Intraocular teratomas are rare neoplasms with only three previously reported cases. We present the fourth case of intraocular teratoma and the second associated with sacrococcygeal teratoma. While the nature of the association between intraocular teratomas and sacrococcygeal teratomas is unclear, it suggests a need for careful ophthalmologic follow-up of infants with congenital sacrococcygeal teratomas.

Keywords: Teratoma; germ cell tumor; intraocular neoplasm; sacrococcygeal teratoma.
