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.
Tailbone pain is often misdiagnosed because of the location of the coccyx, the technical word for tailbone. Because it sits at the very end of the spine, it can be diagnosed as buttocks pain or even more often, as lower back pain. Tailbone pain is actually a different condition altogether.
