Human dorsal pseudotail: A rare congenital anomaly case report with review of literature

Abstract

There are two different types of human tails: real tails and pseudotails. While pseudotails can be an abnormal extension of the coccygeal vertebra, lipoma, teratoma, chondrodystrophy, or parasitic fetus, true tails are made of adipose tissue, connective tissue, muscles, arteries, nerves, and mechanoreceptors. We are going to present a case of dorsal pseudotail in a 06 months old infant.
