Primordial germ cells migrate during fetal development and can become arrested, resulting in extragonadal germ cell tumors like sacrococcygeal teratomas. Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common extragonadal germ cell tumors in neonates, occurring more frequently in females. They may be partially or completely external (Altman types I and II) or primarily internal with extension into the pelvis or abdomen (types III and IV). Complete surgical excision including coccygectomy is the primary treatment, with chemotherapy for malignant histology, and alpha-fetoprotein monitoring post-surgery to detect recurrence.
