Teratomas of the head and neck are rare. They develop in neonates and are associated with feeding difficulty, airway obstruction, and difficulty in swallowing (which may cause polyhydramnios). Although some tumors consist of immature elements, teratomas of the head and neck are mature in nature, and excision is the most effective treatment. We present a case report of a neonate with a polypoid mass protruding from his mouth. He exhibited respiratory arrest immediately after birth and underwent intubation. The mass, which was completely excised, was histologically identified as a mature teratoma.
头颈部畸胎瘤较为罕见。它们在新生儿中发生，与喂养困难、气道阻塞及吞咽困难（可能导致羊水过多）相关。虽然有些肿瘤由未成熟成分组成，但头颈部畸胎瘤本质上是成熟的，手术切除是最有效的治疗方法。我们报告一例新生儿病例，其口腔内有一息肉样肿物突出。出生后即出现呼吸骤停并接受了插管。该肿物被完整切除，组织学检查确诊为成熟畸胎瘤。
