Yarık damağın eşlik ettiği konjenital nazofarengeal teratom

Teratomlar multipl doku yapıları içeren ve kaynaklandığı bölgeden farklılık gösteren gerçek neoplazmlar olarak tanımlanabilir. Baş-boyun bölgesi teratomları nadir görülür ve bildirilen tüm konjenital teratom vakalarının %2’den azını oluşturur. Konjenital nazofarengeal teratom son derece nadir görülür ve uygun cerrahi ile prognozu mükemmeldir. Bu olgu sunumunda yarık damağın eşlik ettiği konjenital nazofarengeal teratom vakası sunulmuş ve literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.

Congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma associated with cleft palate

Teratomas are defined as true neoplasms composed of multiple tissues foreign to the part in which they arise. Head and neck teratomas are rare and they account for less than 2% of all congenital teratomas. Congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma is extremely rare and its prognosis is excellent with appropriate surgery. In this case report, a congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma associated with cleft palate is presented and discussed in the light of pertinent literature.
