DELGADO, A L; MVUYISI, M  and  DHAFFALA, A. Gluteal teratoma: An atypical presentation in a 2-year-old girl. S. Afr. j. child health [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp.141-142. ISSN 1999-7671.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAJCH.2019.v13.i3.1576.

Most gluteal teratomas reported in the literature are lateralised sacrococcygeal teratomas. These tumours derive from more than one embryonic germ cell layer, and are usually diagnosed in infancy. We report a case of a large unilateral teratoma protruding through the left gluteus skin of a 2-year-old girl, anterior to the sacrum and coccyx. A complete excision of the tumour was achieved.
