Teratoma is a tumor that is derived from three germ cell layers, and it occurs commonly in the ovary and sacrococcygeal region. In the present study, we report a rare case of sacrococcygeal teratoma of newborn showing features of organoid lung differentiation. A 2-day-old girl child presented with left gluteal mass. Surgical excision was done, and histopathology revealed mature sacrococcygeal teratoma with adult type organoid lung differentiation which is a very rare finding.
