A Case of Nasopharyngeal Teratoma Showing Upper Airway Obstruction
Abstract
- Neoplasms of the nasophrynx are rare in neonates and infants. The most common nasopharyngeal tumor encountered in this age group is teratoma-neoplasm containing multiple heterotopic tissues. Four histologic types of nasopharyngeal teratoma occur-dermoid, teratoid, true teratoma, epignathiof which dermoid is most frequently seen. We have experienced a case of nasopharyngeal teratoma in a female neonate with signs and symptoms of upper airway obstruction. It was diagnosed by cervical. CT and confirmed as ture teratoma by histological examination. Nesopharyngeal teratoma was removed by contact Nd:YAG laser. In addition, we briefly reviewed the literature of neonatal nasopharyngeal teratoma.
