Teratomatous choristoma and its associated syndromes. Case report.
The literature on oral teratomata is reviewed, and a theory for the embryological basis for these malformations is presented. We present an unusual case of Class III (Schwalbe) teratoma, in association with a complete cleft of the hard palate. Corrective surgery was required in the neonatal period.
