“…From a clinical point of view differences exist between the combined orbital teratoma and the secondary orbital teratoma. The diagnosis is made at birth in the first group (Berlin et al 1983;Braun-Vallon et al 1958;Davis & Alexander 1959;Garden & McManis 1986;Lawson 1884;Nanda et al 1991;Sat0 et al 1985;Tuncbay et al 1981;Viana 1927), but often prenatally in the latter (Denes 1940;Francois et al 1968;Immisch 1952;Mamalis et al 1985;Megevand &Werner 1960;Neiger & Sacks 1989;Prym 1924;Vinters et al 1982;Wirth et al 1990). This early diagnosis is due to associated polyhydramnios and hydrocephalus, neither of whch was found in our case.…”

A new‐born baby presented with a large, rapidly growing tumour. The tumour involved the right orbit, the anterior half of the right intracranial space and extended through the skull of the temporal region. The proptotic eye ruptured due to exposure. The tumour was extirpated when the patient was 12 days old. A large recurrence was extirpated two months later. The tumour was firmly bound to the medial aspect of the superior orbital fissure which probably was the location of origin of the tumour. Based on the size of the intracranial‐ and the orbital part of the tumour, it was classified as a secondary orbital teratoma. The tumour was macroscopically composed of cystic and solid areas. Microscopically it was seen to be a benign teratoma with tissue from all three germinal layers.
