ABSTRACT
Teratomas are rare congenital neoplasms that arise from pluripotent cells. Teratomas of the head and neck are exceedingly rare and are usually present in the neonatal period. Immature teratomas account for less than 1% of all germ cell malignancies and the incidence in the nasal cavity is very rare. We report, with a review of literature, of an immature teratoma in the nasal cavity. A 5-month-old female presented with a right nasal cavity tumor associated with nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis. Endoscopic removal was done by minimally external alotomy approach. Tumor had originated from the roof of the nasal cavity & ethmoid sinus, and the nasal septum was deviated to the left side due to expansile mass. At follow-up, 10 years after operation, there was no evidence of recurrence; no severe nasal septum deviation nor atrophy of inferior turbinate was observed.
