Abstract
We report here a fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma found at 26 weeks of gestati on. An ultra-fast T2 weighted imaging method enables the clear visualizatio n of morphological details of the fetus without motion artifacts. Complete surgical resection was performed immediately after cesarean birth, and no e vidence of tumor recurrence was confirmed at 1 year of age.
