Myopathy is a muscular disease in which the muscle fibers do not function for any one of many reasons, resulting in muscular weakness. Myopathy simply means muscle disease (myo- Greek Î¼ÏÎ¿ muscle + pathos -pathy Greek suffering).
Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is a type of tumor known as a teratoma that develops at the base of the coccyx (tailbone) and is thought to be derived from the primitive streak.
If the tumor is close to the skin or in an area of soft tissue such as the abdomen, the mass may be felt by touch. Depending on the location, possible symptoms of a benign tumor include: chills; discomfort or pain; fatigue; fever; loss of appetite; night sweats; weight loss; Benign tumors may be large enough to detect, particularly if theyâre close to the skin.
