Teratoma in the parapharyngeal space of infant：a case report and literature review

Abstract

Abstract: Teratomas is a rare category of neoplasm that arises from all three embryonic germ layers, while head and neck teratoma is even more unusual. Because clinical diagnosis is difficult, accumulation of case series and experiences is necessary. This article reported an unique case of teratoma in parapharyngeal space in a 3-month-old boy who also had congenital cleft palate. Clinical manifestations, pathological findings and treatment were presented along with brief review of literature.

Key words: Teratoma, Parapharyngeal space, Infant, Head and neck
