Abstract
Vulval/vaginal teratomas are rare occurrences in newborns. We report a case of a neonate that was born with a vulva teratoma, a rectovestibular anomaly, and a bifid T12 vertebra. To our knowledge, this combination is the first to be reported in the literature. The patient had a tumour excision in conjunction with a Primary Posterior Sagittal Anorectoplasty (PPSARP). She had post-operative complications of a wound breakdown that was managed conservatively. She is now being followed up on out-patient basis.
