This case report discusses a presentation of a giant facial teratoma, a rare congenital neoplasm. Head and neck locations of the tumour uncommonly distort the face and may be associated with functional problems. We present a case of teratoma arising from the right parotid extending to the extracranial regions, successfully managed by surgical resection. Reviewing this case with the supporting body of literature anticipates further investigation to address patients' needs more thoroughly.
本病例报告讨论了一例巨大面部畸胎瘤的病例,这是一种罕见的先天性肿瘤。肿瘤位于头颈部时,通常会使面部变形,并可能伴有功能问题。我们报告一例起源于右侧腮腺并延伸至颅外区域的畸胎瘤病例,通过手术切除成功治愈。结合文献对该病例进行回顾,有望开展进一步研究,以便更全面地满足患者需求。
