Cysts and bursae of the nasopharynx are uncommon and seldom symptomatic when compared with malignant tumors of this region. However, it is noteworthy that in the presence of symptoms, a good knowledge of their radiological appearance is useful to establish the correct diagnosis. Cysts of Rathke's pouch, pharyngeal bursa of Luschka, Tornwaldt's cysts, retentional cysts of the seromucinous glands, oncocytic cysts, intra-adenoid cysts, branchial cysts, prevertebral or retropharyngeal abscess and pseudocysts of the nasopharynx will be discussed in this paper.

“…CT and MRI should be done in adults, to differentiate it from other nasopharyngeal masses, to see intracranial extension and to plan for surgery. 10,11 Other possible masses in nasopharynx can be Thornwaldt cyst, H airy polyp, Papilloma, A denomatous polyp, Schwannoma, Dermoid, Pleomorphic adenoma, rhabdomysarcoma. As for treatment, they should be excised completely, without leaving any remnants to avoid recurrence and patient should be kept in follow up.…”

Teratomas are tumours that arise from all the three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm). They form due to error in migration of germ cells. They can be mature and immature types. Mature teratomas are benign slow growing masses commonly encountered in sacrococcygeal region. Nasopharyngeal teratomas are relatively rare conditions. In new-borns nasopharyngeal teratomas can present with respiratory obstruction at birth, therefore it's important to diagnose them perinatally. In adults they can present with varying degree of nasal obstruction, Eustachian tube blockage, dysphagia etc. based on their size and location. In this case report, presentation of nasopharyngeal teratoma, differential diagnosis and management in adults has been discussed.
