Abstract

Background: Congenital germ cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of TERATOMA is in the sacrococcygeal region. TERATOMA arising from the head and neck comprises less than 10% of reported cases and of these, nasopharyngeal lesions are rare. TERATOMAs are generally benign, and have a well recognized clinical and histopathological entity. We present a case of nasopharyngeal TERATOMA (NPT) associated with a wide CLEFT PALATE.Case Presentation: A 20 day old female NEONATE with a TERATOMA of the nasopharyngeal area, and wide CLEFT PALATE was referred to our center. The protruded mass which measured 6×4×3cm, was of soft consistency, blocked the airway, and prevented oral feeding. Preoperative evaluation and imaging was performed and mass was excised 2 days after admission. Pathology revealed a welldifferentiated mature solid TERATOMA (hairy polyp). The patient had no complication in the postoperative period. CLEFT PALATE was surgically repaired when 2 years old. She is now a six year old girl with normal development.Conclusion: Congenital nasopharyngeal TERATOMAs are usually benign. Surgery is the treatment of choice, and should be undertaken on an urgent basis, especially in a patient who presents with signs and symptoms of AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION.
