Abstract
A review of all teratomas seen at the University of Wisconsin Hospital between 1965 and 1977 revealed that sacrococcygeal and presacral teratomas were most common. In these cases survival was best in infants less than one year old, with the exception of two cases of malignant medulloepithelioma. Testicular teratomas were predominant in the young adult male, and survival was poor. Pathology and treatment of teratomas are discussed, with an accompanying discussion of congenital anomalies associated with teratomas.Keywords
