Teratomas of the head and neck with emphasis on malignancy.
The great majority of teratomas of the head and neck present in the neonate or infant and are biologically benign and yet with a high mortality because of their space-occupying and obstructive character. Teratomas in the adult neck and sinonasal tract are histologically and biologically malignant, with an often unpredictable response to therapy.
