This is a 42-year-old woman G5P3P0A1V3 with no remarkable history. She had a routine ultrasound examination at 32 week gestation. The morphological evaluation of the fetus revealed a mixed mass 60 x 50 mm that apparently involved right gluteal region, the rest of the anatomy was normal. We suspected a sacrococcygeal teratoma type I or Hemangioma. Doppler revealed no vascularity in the mass
