The authors report the very rare case of a congenital immature teratoma arising from the nasopharyx in a full term female neonate. The tumor also extended to the oral cavity, particularly the right tonsillar fossa without intracranial involvement leading to upper airway obstruction and secondary Escherichia coli pneumonia. The immature part of the tumor in the head and neck region is not a poor prognostic indicator and chemotherapy is useless. In the presented case, the mass was widely excised without postoperative complications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in Thailand.
作者报告了一例极为罕见的病例，一名足月女新生儿鼻咽部发生先天性未成熟畸胎瘤。肿瘤还延伸至口腔，尤其是右侧扁桃体窝，未累及颅内，导致上呼吸道梗阻及继发性大肠杆菌肺炎。头颈部肿瘤的未成熟部分并非预后不良指标，化疗无效。在本病例中，肿物被广泛切除，术后无并发症。据我们所知，这是泰国首例报告病例。
