“…Untreated, these lesions are associated with a mortality rate of more than 80%. 2 These lesions are often associated with other congenital anomalies involving the central nervous system, heart, and anus. 4 Nasopharyngeal teratomas frequently cause palatal clefting by impairing fusion of the palatal processes, 5 as was the case for our patient.…”

An infant boy known to have a secondary cleft palate presented with apneic episodes and sternal retractions. He had been delivered vaginally at term, with the pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia and oligohydraminos.On examination there was a 3-cm, smooth, whitish tan mass emanating from the right lateral pharyngeal wall (Figure, A) and protruding down through the secondary cleft palate. A contrastenhanced maxillofacial computed tomographic (CT) scan was obtained. This revealed a well-defined, round heterogeneous, midline mass obstructing the oropharynx and posterior nasopharynx (Figure, B-D). The mass had a mildly enhancing thick wall with a central focus of decreased enhancement, with attenuation similar to fluid. No discrete foci of calcification or fat were identified.The child underwent an excision of this mass using the Coblator device (Arthrocare). Intraoperatively, the mass was seen to be pedicled from the right lateral pharyngeal wall in the tonsillar fossa. Findings from nasal endoscopy were unremarkable, with the exception of the mass being visible in the nasopharynx. He tolerated this procedure well and 6 months later underwent a palatoplasty for repair of the secondary cleft palate.What is your diagnosis?

“…The management of these tumors in neonates is often complicated and may result in significant morbidity and death. In a study of 20 cervicofacial teratomas presenting from 1971 to 1994 conducted by the Children's Cancer Group [20], 35% of the infants had life-threatening airway obstruction during the early postnatal period. Two neonates died in the delivery room without having their airways secured.…”

“…Macroscopiquement, le tératome malin est plus souvent solide que kystique et contient des tissus immatures. Le diagnostic est posé devant la présence de cellules immatures, mais le degré de malignité n'est pas proportionnel à la quantité de tissus immatures présents dans le tératome [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Meyer [7] avait proposé une classifi cation anatomochirurgicale pour les téra-tomes du plancher buccal basée sur leur situation par rapport aux muscles génioglosse, géniohyoïdien, mylohyoïdien et digastrique.…”

Un tératome du plancher buccalRésumé -Introduction : Les tératomes du plancher buccal sont des choristomes rares, de découverte exceptionnelle chez l'adulte. Observation : Un cas rare de tératome du plancher buccal chez un patient de 41 ans est rapporté. Il se manifestait par une tumé-faction du plancher buccal, mobilisable à la palpation. L'examen radiographique et la tomodensitométrie (TDM) révélaient une image ostéocondensante incluse dans une masse graisseuse. L'examen anatomopathologique de la pièce d'exérèse concluait à un tératome. Discussion : Le diagnostic de tératome doit être évoqué devant une radio-opacité du plancher buccal. L'orthopantomogramme, la TDM et ou l'imagerie par résonance magné-tique (IRM) orientent le diagnostic. Le diagnostic de certitude est anatomopathologique.Abstract -A teratoma of the lateral fl oor of the mouth. Introduction: Teratomas of the fl oor of the mouth are uncommon choristomas. Discovery of teratoma in adults is rare. Observation: An exceptional case of a teratoma of the fl oor of the mouth in a 41-year-old patient is reported. It was manifested by swelling of the fl oor of the mouth and could be mobilized by palpation. Radiographic examination and a CT scan revealed a dense mineralized image included in a fat mass. The histopathological analysis concluded it was a teratoma. Comments: The diagnosis of teratoma should be considered for radio-opacity of the fl oor of the mouth. An orthopantomogram, computed tomography (CT) and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guide the diagnosis. The diagnosis is histopathological.évidence un tissu fi bro-adipeux mature et osseux anarchique, compatible avec un tératome bénin.
