Head and neck teratomas are rare, typically affecting young individuals. This report details a large infratemporal fossa teratoma in an elderly patient, discussing diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Teratomas are germ cell tumors that can occur in various body locations.
  • Head and neck teratomas are exceptionally uncommon, with most documented cases involving pediatric patients.
  • The infratemporal fossa is a complex anatomical region prone to rare tumorous growths.

Observation:

  • This clinical report focuses on an elderly patient presenting with a massive teratoma.
  • The tumor was located in the infratemporal fossa, a site rarely associated with teratomas, especially in older adults.
  • The patient's presentation highlights the atypical occurrence of this condition in an aged demographic.

Findings:

  • The study describes a rare case of a large teratoma in the infratemporal fossa of an elderly individual.
