Abstract
Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) arising in the presacral space are rare neoplasms that can arise in association with either sacrococcygeal teratomas or tailgut cysts. Although tumors arising in tailgut cysts are more frequent than those associated with teratomas, they are still very rare, and only 13 cases have been reported in the literature. We describe the first case of a carcinoid composed of ghrelin-producing cells...
