Sacrococcygeal teratoma epidemiology and demographics
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Sacrococcygeal teratoma is one of the most common congenital tumors. The incidence of sacrococcygeal teratoma, based on multiple studies conducted around the world, ranges from 3.5 – 9.3 per 100, 000 individuals. The prevalence of sacrococcygeal teratoma ranges from 1.4 – 3.3 per 100, 000 individuals. In a retrospective cohort study conducted in southern Sweden from 2000 to 2013, the overall mortality rate of sacrococcygeal teratoma was 11%. Sacrococcygeal teratoma affects neonates. There is no racial predilection to sacrococcygeal teratoma. The female to male ratio is approximately 4 to 1.
