  • Title: Benign nasopharyngeal teratomas in the neonate.
    Author: Clark DP, Brook FB, Proops DW.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 1988 Dec; 16(3):219-24. PubMed ID: 3235287.
    Abstract:
    Two cases are described of benign teratoma arising in the nasopharynx and presenting with difficulty breathing in the neonatal period. Preservation of the airway is paramount during assessment. Radiology and subsequent examination under anaesthetic, precede removal of the teratoma by snare. This is usually uncomplicated but bleeding has been reported. Complete removal cures the airway problem and follow-up is usually uneventful. A review of the classification and aetiology by these lesions is included.
