Teratomas are rare congenital neoplasms. Head and neck locations of the tumor are uncommon with combined intracranial and extracranial extensions being even more rare. The authors present a case of teratoma involving the temporal, buccal, maxillary, orbital and extending to the intracranial regions, which was successfully managed by surgical resection.

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare embryonal central nervous system tumor with a dismal prognosis that occurs mostly in early childhood. Since recent epidemiological and prognostic information is limited, we aimed to describe and analyze AT/RT-related incidences, temporal trends and prognostic factors. Incidence and survival data between 2001 and 2021 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Objectives: Congenital thoracic masses (CTMs) are suspected in presence of solid or cystic thoracic lesions at ultrasound. The common typical fetal CTMs encompass: hyperechogenic lung lesions such as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), broncopulmonary sequestration (PS) and congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS); less common solid thoracic masses are mediastinal/pericardial tumors as rhabdomyoma and teratoma. The aim of our study is to gather the available evidence on cases of atypical CTMs of difficult classification, for which the diagnosis remains often uncertain.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Unlabelled: Adrenal tumors in children are frequently neoplastic and malignant, and surgical resection is the first management option. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has proven to be a safe management alternative and is suggested as a preferred alternative approach.
Objective: To report the surgical outcomes of patients with adrenal tumors treated by MIS.

Background: Epignathus is a rare kind of teratoma. Its estimated incidence is one in 35,000-200,000 live births, and it may cause high mortality by causing airway obstruction in the neonatal period. It is generally diagnosed in the prenatal period.
