The presacral teratoma is characteristic of the Currarino syndrome. This disorder is an autosomal dominant genetic trait caused by a mutation in the HLXB9 homeobox gene.

ependymal cell rests of the sacrococcygeal area
12 January 2012Ependymal cell rests of the sacrococcygeal area are relatively common; they may occur in association with postcoccygeal (pilonidal) dimples or in the absence of observable abnormalities.
Some of the lesions are poorly organized, whereas others closely resemble minute myxopapillary ependymomas.
Most authorities believe that the majority of subcutaneous sacrococcygeal myxopapillary ependymomas arise in ependymal cell rests.
Myxopapillary ependymomas may be locally aggressive and may (...) -

Case 265 : GLUT1+ Infantile hemangioma in caudal appendix
Historically, cutaneous stigmata representative of occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) have included lumbar hemangiomas.
Frequently, this skin change is found in conjunction with other cutaneous alterations such as dermal sinus tracts and subcutaneous lipomas.
