  • Title: [Cervical teratomas. Case report and review (author's transl)].
    Author: Handl H.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1979; 14(2):143-50. PubMed ID: 460918.
    Abstract:
    The finding of a cervical teratoma in a newborn gave rise to a new review of the 131 cases in infancy described in the literature. 13 of the 29 cases reported since 1966 were found in newborns, and a total of 25 cervical teratomas by the end of the first year. The clinical differential diagnosis against other cervical tumors is difficult. With one exception, all teratomas were benign. Because of dangerous respiratory complications and the increasing risk of malign degeneration with age, this tumor has to be removed as early as possible.
