Cervical teratomas in the newborn.

S R Gundry, J R Wesley, M D Klein

    Journal of Pediatric Surgery
    |August 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cervical teratomas in newborns are rare neck masses that can cause severe respiratory distress. Prompt surgical intervention significantly reduces mortality rates for these congenital tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Oncology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Cervical teratomas are rare neoplasms.
    • Infrequently reported in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • Six newborns presented with large, semicystic neck masses.
    • Four neonates required intubation due to respiratory distress.
    • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were elevated in two infants.

    Findings:

    • Surgical removal via total thyroid lobectomy was successful in four neonates operated within 24 hours.
    • Tumors were well-encapsulated, associated with the thyroid gland.
    • Prompt surgery reduced mortality from 80% to 15%.

    Implications:

    • Cervical teratomas can cause significant neonatal respiratory distress.
    • Emergency surgery is crucial for improving outcomes in affected newborns.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical management are key to survival.
