Abstract

Presacral teratoma is extremely rare in adults. A 35-year-old lady was diagnosed with presacral teratoma on MRI abdomen and pelvis. The tumour was enucleated laparoscopically, this being the first such case to be reported in India and fifth case in world literature. Though traditionally, anterior approach of the presacral tumours meant laparotomy, but recently, laparoscopy has been reported as a safe and effective option for these tumours with the advantages of a magnified view in the narrow pelvis, easier development of natural planes by pneumoperitoneum, faster recovery and less complications if expertise is available.
