Abstract
Teratomas are the most common neoplasms in newborns. It is now possible to detect these lesions with ultrasound before birth. Presented are 6 teratomas in a variety of locations diagnosed in utero (3 sacrococcygeal, 2 oral cavity, and 1 intracranial). As these lesions are usually benign and often curable, the authors believe an aggressive, combined obstetric, pediatric, and surgical approach is warranted.
