A presacral teratoma is a type of tumor that arises from germ cells located in the presacral area, which is situated near the base of the spine, just above the sacrum. These tumors can be congenital, meaning they are present at birth, and are most commonly diagnosed in infants and young children. Presacral teratomas can contain various types of tissues, including hair, muscle, and bone, and may be benign or malignant. Treatment typically involves surgical removal, depending on the tumor's size, location, and characteristics.
