A rare case of sacrococcygeal squamous cell carcinoma

Introduction: Sacrococcygeal neoplastic lesions are extremely rare. Primary benign or malignant lesion are lesser than 7% of all intraspinal lesions. Patients with sacral tumors present with non-specific symptoms, including pain, palpable mass, and neurologic deficits. Despite the advancement of i...
