Abstract
Three cases of extragonadal teratomas presented at birth and all the cases arisen from three separate sites are reported in the present study. A huge sacrococcygeal teratoma is being reported and the other two retroperitoneal and nasopharyngeal teratomas, are reported for the rarity of their location in neonatal period. Teratomas of all three babies were mature benign on histopathology and surgical removal sufficed as mode of treatment. No recurrence was noted on follow-up.
