Abstract

Teratomas arising from the head and neck are extremely rare. Sporadic reports in the literature mostly involve infant and young people. In this clinical report, we present a huge teratoma of the infratemporal fossa in an old patient. Current diagnosis and management approaches of this rare entity are described.
