Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is one of the most common solid tumors in the development of embryos. Currently, the accuracy of SCT prenatal diagnosis has been significantly improved. Probably the prognosis of fetal SCT will be improved based on standardized prenatal counseling, precise indications and strategies for fetal surgical intervention, consolidated perinatal follow-up and assessment, postnatal management and long-term follow-up as well. This review focuses on recent advances in prenatal strategies for fetal SCT based on national or international clinical practice guidelines and consensus on fetal SCT and authors′ personal clinical experience. Hopefully this review will also provide a standardized evidence for prenatal management of fetal SCT.
