Although most cases of neonatal sacrococcygeal teratoma are benign, some can grow into very large lesions, potentially causing high-output heart failure, massive bleeding, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and even fatal outcomes.We report three cases of giant sacrococcygeal teratomas, detailing their diagnostic and therapeutic management, emphasizing that clinicians should be prepared with comprehensive contingency plans and interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to enhance patient survival rates and minimize potential complications.
