Teratomas are true neoplasms derived from the three germ layers. They are relatively rare tumours. They present in the sacrococcygeal region, gonads and retroperitoneum commonly. We present the report of a 5-month-old infant who presented with a prolapsing oropharyngeal teratoma and literature review.

Article Synopsis
- Duplication of the pituitary gland is a rare condition, typically associated with various craniofacial malformations; this study reviewed ten patients to explore imaging features and potential causes of these anomalies.
- The imaging review focused on identifying the duplicated pituitary stalk and gland, along with noting distinct features of the hypothalamic region and associated abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord.
- The findings revealed normal imaging of the pituitary structures but several significant malformations and genetic mutations in the patients, indicating a complex interplay of developmental issues related to this anomaly.
Utility of 3-Dimensional Modeling in Prenatally Diagnosed Large Fetal Neck Mass.
Fetal Diagn Ther

Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Prenatally diagnosed large fetal neck masses require a comprehensive approach involving multiple specialists to evaluate treatment options and assess risks for both mother and infant.
- A case study revealed the effectiveness of using a 3D anatomical model created from fetal MRI data to better visualize the complex clinical situation of a large neck mass, aiding in family education and intervention planning.
- Ultimately, the use of 3D modeling not only improved assessment of perinatal airway needs but also enhanced the overall delivery and postnatal management process for the infant.
A Rare Case of Giant Epignathus (Teratoma) of Left Palatine Tonsil: A Case Report.

Teratomas are rare tumors that originate from all three primary germinal layers and can develop anywhere along the body's midline, most commonly in the sacrococcygeal area. Within the head-and-neck region, they are infrequent, especially in the oropharyngeal area, and predominantly occur in infants. This case report presents an unusual instance of a teratoma in the left palatine tonsil, also known as giant epignathus, of a 25-year-old female.

Oral teratoma is a congenital neoplastic lesion with an incidence of 2%-9% of all teratomas. It comprises variable amounts of all three germ cell layers. The lesion is graded on histology depending upon the presence of immature components.
