Introduction And Importance: Oropharyngeal teratoma is a rare congenital tumor that grows slowly and can be suspected prenatally. It entails the obstruction of upper airway and upper digestive tract. Clinical examination is always completed by imaging particularly the MRI.
Case Presentation: We present a case of an eight- month -old infant who presented an oropharyngeal mass which caused intermittent dyspnea and feeding difficulties.
Discussion: The treatment is only surgical and histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis is key to successful management of oropharyngeal teratomas.
