A fetus with a mass in the oral cavity: A rare case of large oral immature teratoma.

ABSTRACT

Oral teratoma is a congenital neoplastic lesion with an incidence of 2%-9% of all teratomas. It comprises variable amounts of all three germ cell layers. The lesion is graded on histology depending upon the presence of immature components. The most common sites of presentation are the sacrococcygeal area and head and neck with slight female predominance. Our report is based on a case that was received for histopathological evaluation. It consisted of a 20-week fetus with a huge mass protruding from oral orifice measuring 10.8 × 6.7 cm. Histological examination of the tumor revealed immature teratoma-oropharynx.
