ABSTRACT
Teratomas are unusual tumors derived from all 3 germs cells layers endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm, with varying proportions. The cervical area is exceptionally affected. We report 4 cases of cervical teratoma. The clinically and radiologically suggested diagnosis was confirmed by histology. We describe herein the main clinical, radiological, and histological aspects and outcomes of this disease. Despite its most often benign histologic nature, cervical teratoma may threaten newborn infants' life due to airway compression. A multidisciplinary approach to the disease starting at delivery is required to improve the prognosis.
