ABSTRACT
110 cases of sacrococcygeal lesions seen in the Guangzhou Children's hospital were reviewed. 42 cases were anomalies, 66 cases were tumors and 2 were inflammatory granulomas. As compared to data in western literatures, the morbidity of anomalies in this series was lower than that of tumors, whereas in western reports the morbidity of anomalies was much higher than that of tumors. Another interesting point was that the morbidity of meningocele (MC) in this series was much higher than that of myelomeningocele (MMC) of spina bifida (71). According to a study in Australia, the MCMMC was 15. We suggest that endodermal sinus tumor should be considered as an independent entity of there was no other tissue component (organlike component) found in tumor section. We also suggest that if neuroblastoma and/or other immature neuroectodermal component is observed in a teratoma, it should be classified as malignant rather than benign.
