  • Title: Neonatal airway obstruction secondary to nasopharyngeal teratoma.
    Author: Rowe LD.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg (1979); 1980; 88(3):221-6. PubMed ID: 7402661.
    Abstract:
    Neoplasms of the nasopharynx are rare in neonates and infants. The most common nasopharyngeal tumors encountered in this age group are teratomata--neoplasms containing multiple heterotopic tissues. Of the four basic histologic types, dermoids are most frequently seen. An unusual case of a true teratoma in a premature infant with severe upper airway obstruction is presented. An extensive review of the world literature confirms the rarity of this lesion.
