“…[ 2 ] A magnetic resonance imaging is the investigation of choice to delineate these lesions in utero and plan surgical excision. [ 2 4 ] Postnatally, a CT scan can give the required information regarding components, surgical margins and involved structures. [ 2 ] These tumors are usually isolated, but cleft palate is a common association when the tumor develops before 8 weeks of gestation.…”

Teratomas are among the most common tumors of childhood, but craniofacial teratomas are rare. They can be diagnosed antenatally. Craniofacial teratomas may cause airway obstruction in the newborn. We present a case of a newborn male child who was diagnosed to have a facial tumor in the 8th month of gestation. He was delivered normally and had no respiratory or feeding difficulties. He was also found to have a cleft palate. Serum alpha fetoprotein levels were normal. He underwent excision on day of life 9. At 11 months follow-up, he is well with no evidence of recurrence and good functional outcome.

We report on a rare case of a prenatally diagnosed isolated facial teratoma, presenting as an avascular elongated ossified lesion arising from the inferior lateral rim of the orbit. There was no evidence of fetal compromise throughout the course of the pregnancy, which resulted in term delivery of a healthy neonate by elective Caesarean section. We summarize the key features, differential diagnoses, prognosis and management of fetal facial lesions.

“…1 Teratomas are considered malignant when areas of germ cell tumor or nongerminal malignant tumor patterns are present, or if the teratoma is metastasizing. Malignant cervical teratomas are exceedingly rare in infants 2 and are reported to be associated with elevated serum AFP levels, which can serve as a useful marker for tumor progression or recurrence.…”

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?
