title: Congenital benign teratoma of the tongue with bifid tip, ankyloglossia and polydactyly: report of a case.
abstract: Teratomas of the tongue are rare, and often accompany other anomalies within the head and neck. We describe a combination of anomalies in a 6-week-old infant with teratoma and bifid tip of the tongue, severe tongue tie, and polydactyly. The teratoma was excised and the tongue tie released with no complications.
