title: A rare case of congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma presenting with respiratory distress.
abstract: Teratomas of the head and neck are rare, benign neoplasms, usually presenting in the neonatal period and are often malignant with regard to their location. Teratomas occur with a frequency of one in 4,000 live births with head and neck teratomas accounting for <5% of the total. Extensive literature search has shown that there are only two cases congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma reported in India, and we report the third such case.
