Abstract :
Teratomas are defined as true neoplasms composed of multiple tissues foreign to the part in which they arise. Head and neck teratomas are rare and they account for less than 2% of all congenital teratomas. Congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma is extremely rare and its prognosis is excellent with appropriate surgery. In this case report, a congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma associated with cleft palate is presented and discussed in the light of pertinent literature.
