Teratoma Oral
Please click to enlarge.
Note what signs you see.
I (W. Wertelecki, M.D.) see:
- Morphology of the nasal tip, philtrum and lips appear to be within norms.
- A protruding congenital mass from the oral cavity is likely to be a teratoma.
PERSPECTIVE: The preferential locations of teratomas include regions near the cephalad and caudad ends of the neural tube. The nature of teratomas remains in dispute (malformation, neoplasia, parasitic twin, …).
