The finding of a cervical teratoma in a newborn gave rise to a new review of the 131 cases in infancy described in the literature. 13 of the 29 cases reported since 1966 were found in newborns, and a total of 25 cervical teratomas by the end of the first year. The clinical differential diagnosis against other cervical tumors is difficult. With one exception, all teratomas were benign. Because of dangerous respiratory complications and the increasing risk of malign degeneration with age, this tumor has to be removed as early as possible.
新生儿颈部畸胎瘤的发现促使对文献中描述的131例婴儿期病例进行重新审视。自1966年以来报告的29例病例中，有13例在新生儿中发现，到第一年末共有25例颈部畸胎瘤。与其他颈部肿瘤进行临床鉴别诊断很困难。除1例例外，所有畸胎瘤均为良性。由于存在危险的呼吸并发症以及随着年龄增长恶性变风险增加，这种肿瘤必须尽早切除。
