ABSTRACT
The cervical teratoma is an exceptional tumour. We report two observations diagnosed in neonates, both born with a cervical mass, which was associated with a dyspnea in a case. The surgical treatment consisted in a complete excision of the tumour. Histology concluded that teratoma was mature in a case and immature in the second. No complementary treatment was indicated. The evolution was uneventful in both cases with a follow-up of 8 and 3 years. In this work, the authors point out the clinical, radiological and therapeutic characteristics of these embryonic tumours
