چکیده
Teratoma of oropharyngeal region, also known as an epignathus, is found in approximately 1:35,000– 1:200,000 live births with female predominance.[1] Congenital malformations such as cleft palate, bifid tongue, dorso-nasal fistula and nasal dermoid cyst may be associated with teratoma of oropharyngeal region in 6 % cases.[2] Management of these cases are challenging with respect to handling of airway at birth and during surgery (especially with giant teratoma).
