The patient, a 15 months old girl, has been noticed hen's egg size tumor on the sacro-coccygeal region since her birth. The tumor showed no special lesion, however the size of the tumor increased gradually that is why her mother brought her to our clinic.After routine laboratory work up, the tumor extirpated under general anesthesia. The tumor was adhered to the colon and the rectum partially in front of the coccygeal bone. The content of the tumor was solid connective tissue, nail, and hair. On histological examination, it was clearfied that the tumor was originated from Triderma and showed no malignancy. Post-surgical course was uneventful without fistula formation.
