Teratomas are germinal cell neoplasms containing tissues from all germinal layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm); however, they may show varying stages of maturity. We present a case of a 10-month-old Sudanese male patient who presented to the Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital with a tumor occupying the hard palate since birth, causing reduced oral intake and failure to thrive. CT images showed soft and hard tissue masses originating from the hard palate and extending to the oral cavity. The treatment was initiated with nutritional support and consultation with pediatric physicians. The oral teratoma was successfully treated with surgery. The patient was regularly followed up and he fully recovered eventually.
畸胎瘤是包含来自所有胚层(外胚层、中胚层和内胚层)组织的生殖细胞肿瘤;然而,它们可能表现出不同程度的成熟阶段。我们报告一例10个月大的苏丹男性患者,自出生以来肿瘤占据硬腭,导致经口摄入量减少和发育不良,就诊于喀土穆教学牙科医院。CT图像显示软硬组织肿块起源于硬腭并延伸至口腔。治疗首先给予营养支持并咨询儿科医生。口腔畸胎瘤通过手术成功治疗。患者接受定期随访,最终完全康复。
