“…Cervical teratomas are rare and most reports involve single cases or small series [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Their incidence is 1 in 20,000-40,000 live births and this particular location accounts for less than 5% of all teratomas treated during infancy and childhood.…”

“…Teratomas originate from multipotent primitive germ cells and result in different tissues, diverging from the anatomical site of origin 2,3 . They are most common during early childhood and the most common location is the sacrococcygeal region in children and the gonadal region in adults [2][3][4] .…”

“…They are most common during early childhood and the most common location is the sacrococcygeal region in children and the gonadal region in adults [2][3][4] . The frequency of these embryonic tumours is about 1:20,000-40,000 live births.…”

“…Differential diagnosis includes a variety of lesions like teratomas, encephalocele, meningocele, neuroglial heterotopia, cystic hygroma and haemangiomas [1]. The incidence of cervical teratoma is 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 40,000 live births and accounts for approximately 3% of all the teratomas [2,3]. Neuroglial heterotopia is a rare lesion composed of differentiated neuroectodermal tissue without communication with the brain, spinal cord or meninges [1].…”

“…This can be done by prenatal ultrasound and fetal MRI. Besides, polyhydramnios is an important antenatal sign and has been reported in 20% of patients with congenital head and neck teratoma [3,6]. This is because of the large neck mass causing hyperextension of the fetal neck leading to oesophageal obstruction, swallowing difficulty and polyhydramnios.…”
