Epignathus, is a rare oropharyngeal teratoma arising from the head and neck region. Sporadic cases have been described with associated intracerebral teratoma. Even more infrequent and extraordinary is the circumstance of a teratoma with oropharynx destruction. We describe the case of a fetus with pharyngeal mass that completely destroyed the oral cavity. The histological examination revealed an immature teratoma (G3); only one other G3 case has been described.
咽颌畸胎瘤是一种罕见的起源于头颈部区域的口咽畸胎瘤。散发病例曾有与脑内畸胎瘤相关的描述。更罕见且特殊的是伴有口咽破坏的畸胎瘤情况。我们描述了一例胎儿咽部肿块完全破坏口腔的病例。组织学检查显示为未成熟畸胎瘤(G3级);仅另有一例G3级病例被描述过。
