congenital pharyngeal teratoma associated with malposed palatine teeth (a case report)
Authors
abstract
pharyngeal teratomas are rare. we present a mature solid teratoma (so called “hairypolyp”) involving naso- and oro- pharynx in a female infant who presented with a gradually enlarging mass at the roof of the mouth since birth. the pharyngeal mass was protruding into the mouth through a palatine defect present posteriorly which was removed completely. subsequently she developed malposed anterior palatine teeth and by 15 months of age three of them were extracted. no residual or recurrent tumor wasdetected by ct scan.

full textEar Teratoma; a Case Report
Teratomas are tumors originated from mature or immature tissues. Teratomas are made up of one embryonic layer or all three embryonic layers (endoderm, mesoderm, or ectoderm). Herein we report a 41-year-old man who presented with vertigo, vomiting, and tinnitus. After physical examination, laboratory evaluation and performing computed tomography, cholesteatoma was diagnosed, however, during radi...
full textAn unusual cause of inspiratory stridor in the newborn: congenital pharyngeal teratoma – a case report
BACKGROUND Neonatal inspiratory stridor is an important examination finding that requires immediate and adequate evaluation of the underlying etiology. Depending on the severity of the airway obstruction and the presence or absence of associated symptoms such as respiratory distress and feeding problems, early initiation of a complete diagnostic workup can be crucial. The most common cause of n...
full textSacrococcygeal Teratoma: A Case Report
Background: Neonatal tumors are usually prenatally diagnosed or within the irst 30 days of life. The true incidence ofneonatal tumors is unknown as a great number of pregnancies with a prenatally diagnosed mass result in stillbirth ormiscarriage. Most solid neonatal tumors are benign whereas less than 50% of neonatal neoplasms are malignant;however, some tumors with malignant ...
full textCongenital orbital-intracranial teratoma with subsequent malignancy: case report.
A newborn baby had an orbital-intracranial benign teratoma radically excised with preservation of the eye. Three years later she developed recurrent proptosis, and reoperation showed an invasive orbital tumour that histologically was a malignant germ-cell neoplasm. The relationship of the two tumours is discussed. Malignant change in a benign orbital-intracranial teratoma of the newborn has not...
full textReport of a Case of Vitamin D Resitant Rickets Associated with Congenital Alopecia
Vitamin D resistant rickets with alopecia is a rather rare heritable disease probably caused by a different variety of metabolic disorder of this vitamin. Disturbances of protoplasmic and unclear receptors for vitamin D metabolites in bones and intestinal cells have been proposed as basic mechanism; Alopecia is attributed to hypersensitivity to vitamin D; very much like what usually appears in ...
