Congenital Immature Teratoma arising from the Tongue -Report of an autopsy case-
|
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Congenital immature teratoma of the tongue is a exceedingly rare form of epignathus.
We report here an autopsy case of a huge immature teratoma protruding from the
tongue of a newborn female infant. The mass obstructed the mouth and caused
hydramnios. The mother's serum level of alpha-fetoprotein was elevated, and the tumor
was identified by a ultrasonogram subsequently done. Discussion on the histogenesis of
epignathus was made through a review of literatures.
