Cervical teratomas are rare tumors in newborns requiring multidisciplinary surgical intervention. This case highlights the challenges and outcomes of treating an immature teratoma, including postoperative complications and long-term recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cervical teratomas are exceptionally rare congenital tumors, often presenting as neck masses in newborns.
  • Surgical management of these malformations poses significant challenges for a multidisciplinary team.

Observation:

  • A neonate diagnosed prenatally with a rapidly growing neck mass underwent urgent surgical removal on the third day of life.
  • Histological examination confirmed the mass as an immature teratoma.

Findings:

  • Postoperative complications included hypothyroidism and severe laryngo-tracheomalacia, necessitating a tracheostomy at two weeks of age.
  • The patient showed no signs of recurrence at 12 months post-surgery.

Implications:
