Large fetal oropharyngeal tumors are rare, and have the potential to cause airway obstruction during birth.
A 35-year-old woman with antenatally diagnosed large heterogenous mass in fetal neck displacing trachea and filling up the orophanygeal space.
The infant was delivered at 31 weeks of gestation by ex-utero intrapartum therapy procedure to secure the airway.
