ABSTRACT
Gastric Teratomas are exetremely rare in infancy and childhood. About 50 cases of gastric teratomas are reported in the world's literature. Most of them were male. Few were dignosed prior to surgery. The mos thelpful diagnostic aid was of teeth or bone in radiologic examinations. Treatment is surgical excision and all of them were benign. Recently, we experienced a case of gastric teratoma combined with congental syphilis which was confirmed by explo-lapa and biopsy in 2month old male infant, who had large intraabdominal mass, vomiting, respiratory distress and skin lesions. The literature on this subject was reviewed briefly.

The highest maternal age incidence was 26 to 30 years of age and vacuum extraction rate was higher in primipara (75.6%) than multipara (24.4%). 3. There were more male (62.2%) than female (37.8%) and 91.6% of the infants were born with 40 to 41 weeks of gestational age and 89.3% of in infants weighing between 2,500 to 4,000g at birth. 4.
