J Pediatr Surg. 1989 Oct;24(10):1074-5. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3468(89)80219-2.

Abstract

Hereditary presacral teratoma and its associated anomalies have been described in six kindreds. We report on a similar family where the father presents with a presumed meningocele and his two children with sacrococcygeal teratomas, associated with anterior meningocele in one.
