“…Teratomas are among the more common tumors of childhood with an incidence of 1:4000 live births. [13] The most common GCT in <1 year old was teratoma (4 cases), of which 2 cases were immature teratoma, both were located retroperitoneally similar to the study of Kumar et al [15] who stated that the incidence of retroperitoneal teratoma is bimodal with peaks in the first 6 months of life and in early adulthood. Three cases of neonatal retroperitoneal teratoma were reported by Lack et al, [16] of these two were immature.…”

“…[11] In children (<5 years), the most common site of extragonadal extracranial GCTs is sacrococcygeal. [8,11,13] However, in older children, facial dermoid cyst was more common. The most common sacrococcygeal GCTs were mature teratomas which mostly behave as benign tumors and less commonly, as malignant ones, of these, 50-70% are found in the first few days of life [14] which was similar to our study where the sacrococcygeal region and mature teratoma were common in the pediatric and adolescent age group.…”

Introduction: Germ cell tumors (GCTs) arise from the malignant transformation of primordial germ cells. GCTs can be benign or malignant. GCTs are mostly gonadal but can be extragonadal. This study comprised of a histological spectrum of extracranial GCTs and their correlation with clinical findings such as age, sex, and site with the histological type of GCT to know the overall incidence of GCT in our institute. Methods: A 3-year retrospective study was carried out in the department of pathology. Of 16,436 surgical specimens, 56 cases were of GCTs. The detailed clinical history including age, sex, and anatomic site was taken into account. Routine hematoxylin and eosin staining was used. All the data were tabulated, and a clinicopathological correlation was attempted and percentages calculated for different variables. Results: Of 56 cases of GCTs, 33 (59%) were females and 23 (41%) were males. GCT was commonly seen in children and adolescents (32 cases). Maximum (65.35%) cases were seen below the age of 20 years. The most common sites for GCTs were ovary, eye, and adnexa (19.64%) followed by sacrococcyx (12.5%). Dermoid cyst (64.28%) was the most common GCT, followed by mature teratoma (23.21%) and immature teratoma (7.14%). Conclusion: GCTs can be gonadal or extragonadal. Extracranial GCTs are rare. Childhood extragonadal GCTs are more common than adult gonadal GCTs. In children, sacrococcyx, and in the adult, ovary were the most common site of GCT. Overall, dermoid cyst was the most common tumor involving face and ovary.

“…They are even rare in the head and neck, which account for only 2%, and those with extracranial or intracranial extensions are very unusual 1. This feature confers high mortality, and those who have had surgery have mostly remained with varying degrees of morbidity 2. Moreover, one of the most frequent complications of paediatric head and neck teratomas is airway compromise 3.…”

This case report discusses a presentation of a giant facial teratoma, a rare congenital neoplasm. Head and neck locations of the tumour uncommonly distort the face and may be associated with functional problems. We present a case of teratoma arising from the right parotid extending to the extracranial regions, successfully managed by surgical resection. Reviewing this case with the supporting body of literature anticipates further investigation to address patients’ needs more thoroughly.

“…They account for 3% of all childhood tumors; 40-70% of them are located in the sacrococcygeal and presacral regions. Head and neck locations of the tumor are uncommon, account for only 2% [2]. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, they can cause a variety of symptoms, including breathing and eating difficulties.…”

Teratomas are rare neoplasms. They account for 3% of all childhood tumors; 40-70% of them are located in the sacrococcygeal and presacral regions. Head and neck locations of the tumor are uncommon, account for only 2%. This article presents a case of a Polish Caucasian male infant born at 30 weeks of gestation, from the 3 rd pregnancy, the first delivery by c-section. The infant's general condition was very severe. Birth weight was 2980 g. A large craniofacial tumor was prenatally detected in the newborn, with the suspicion of immature teratoma, which was later confirmed in postnatal examinations. The infant was operated on the 2 nd day of life and the tumor size was 25-30 cm. After the surgery, birth weight decreased to 1600 g. Imaging tests provides prenatal diagnosis of craniofacial teratomas, which enables to plan early surgical treatment of the newborn with appropriate postoperative care, which increases the chances of survival.
