Teratomas of the nasopharynx and intraoral are uncommon in neonates, although they are the most prevalent extragonadal germ cell tumour during the perinatal or neonatal period. Naso pharyngeal teratoma is a dangerous disorder that causes breathing difficulties in newborns. In this case, a one-day-old female child was born by normal vaginal birth to a 22-year-old healthy female after an uneventful antenatal period, with intraoral and nasopharyngeal growth extending from the oral cavity, causing severe respiratory distress. The baby was treated right away, and an MRI of the head and neck revealed a nasopharyngeal mass lesion with left intratemporal and left intracranial extension, indicating solid cystic, calcified fat teratoma components. The baby was resuscitated, and the growth was successfully excised, as well as the cleft palate, and the patient was discharged with normal bladder and bowel habits. An intraoral and nasopharyngeal benign teratoma was found in the histopathological analysis material. In this instance, we'll go over the intraoperative and specimen findings, as well as the treatment that was used. Surgical excision is the therapy of choice for adult teratomas because the recurrence rate is reduced once the excision is complete.
