Overview

Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is classified into 4 different categories according to Altman classification.[1]

Classification

Altman are classified morphologically according to how much of them is outside or inside the body:

  • Altman Type I - extensively exterior with minimal pelvic involvement.[1]
  • Altman Type II - has pelvic involvement giving tumorous growth an "hour-glass" appearance.
  • Altman Type III - has more pelvic and intra-abdominal involvement than external.
  • Altman Type IV - extensive pre-sacral involvement without external growth.
