title: [Giant orofacial teratoma of the fetus (epignathus) - prenatal 2d and three-dimensional 3D ultrasound detection of this rare condition].
abstract: An epignathus is an extremely rare form of oropharyngeal teratoma that arises from the oral cavity, most commonly from the palate and is associated with a high mortality secondary to airway obstruction in the neonatal period. We present a case of prenatal diagnosis in 29 w.g. preterm baby with a giant epignathus, preterm birth and fetal death. We discuss the incidence of these tumors, the antenatal diagnosis and the prognosis and management of this condition.
