Abstract:
We present three cases of benign pediatric tumors in which there was significant diagnostic dilemma. We share our experience how a pre-sacral dermoid cyst gave rise to bowel bladder obstruction and subsequent incontinence, a retroperitoneum teratoma just superior to left kidney mimicking left congenital pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction, and a Fibroblastoma at the sacro-coccygeal region mimicking sacro-coccygeal teratoma. After the successful diagnosis, the management for these tumors was also equally challenging. Through this paper we wish to convey that benign tumors in children can be extremely debilitating and complacency in management can be fatal.
