This case-based review highlights the role of multidisciplinary team approaches, including prenatal monitoring, oncologic resection, and adequate reconstruction according to the type of tumor and anomaly. Optimal perinatal evaluation allows promising oncologic and functional outcomes in terms of timely intervention to eliminate tumor recurrence and malignant transformation. Complete oncologic surgical resection of SCTs should also include proper functional preservation strategies, such as the reconstruction of the pelvic floor, cosmetic buttock contouring, and preservation of bladder and bowel sphincter function.
