This study reports the first case of a congenital nasal tip teratoma in an infant. Surgical excision was performed on day one of life, successfully removing the rare craniofacial tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Pediatric oncology
  • Developmental biology

Background:

  • Congenital teratomas are rare tumors that can occur in various locations.
  • Craniofacial teratomas are exceptionally uncommon, posing unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • An infant presented with a congenital teratoma located at the nasal tip.
  • Ultrasonography confirmed the presence and extent of the nasal tip teratoma.

Findings:

  • The nasal tip teratoma was surgically excised within the first day of the infant's life.
  • Primary apposition of splayed upper and lower lateral cartilages was achieved during tumor removal.
  • Redundant skin was addressed in a subsequent surgical stage.

Implications:
