Eight cases of cervical teratomas in children are reported including 4 boys and 4 girls. Six patients presented within the first 10 days of life. The tumor was congenital in 7 cases. In 3 neonates it produced severe respiratory distress. Neural and chondral tissues were predominant but all three germ layers were represented. All patients were operated upon, with a 2/8 mortality. The main clinical and histopathological features of these rare tumors are reviewed. Early total surgical removal is the cornerstone of treatment.
本文报告了8例儿童颈部畸胎瘤病例,其中4例为男孩,4例为女孩。6例患者在出生后的前10天内发病。7例肿瘤为先天性。3例新生儿出现严重呼吸窘迫。肿瘤以神经和软骨组织为主,但三个胚层均有代表。所有患者均接受了手术治疗,死亡率为2/8。本文回顾了这些罕见肿瘤的主要临床和组织病理学特征。早期彻底手术切除是治疗的基石。
