Causes of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma

Sacrococcygeal teratoma, because of the complexity of this tumor composition, we call it "teratoma". They represent the most common germ cell tumor in childhood, with an incidence of nearly one in every 35,000-40,000 live births, and are more common in girls. So, what are the causes of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma?

Reason 1: Genetic factors. If there is a history of this type of disease in your family, the chance of developing teratoma will greatly increase. This situation is related to genetics.

Reason 2: Eating habits, living habits and other factors. If you have irregular eating habits, abnormal eating habits, or do not pay attention to your hygiene in life, this situation will occur. It can be seen that good living habits are very important!

Reason 3: Ectopic tumors of embryonic tissue in the spinal canal develop from the germ layer cells that remain during embryonic development. According to different tissue structures, they can be divided into epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts, teratoid cysts and teratomas. The first two are formed by ectoderm tissue. Teratomas contain 3 germ layer structures, while teratoid cysts contain 2 germ layer structures.

The above is an explanation of the causes of fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma, I hope it will be helpful to you. We should not be afraid of this disease, because fear cannot solve any problems. Only by being strong and actively fighting the disease can we regain our health.
