Congenital Epignathus Associated With a Tricuspid Incompetence
Teratomas are germinal cell neoplasms containing tissues from all germinal layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm); however, they may show varying stages of maturity.

description | Teratomas are germinal cell neoplasms containing tissues from all germinal layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm); however, they may show varying stages of maturity. We present a case of a 10-month-old Sudanese male patient who presented to the Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital with a tumor occupying the hard palate since birth, causing reduced oral intake and failure to thrive. CT images showed soft and hard tissue masses originating from the hard palate and extending to the oral cavity. The treatment was initiated with nutritional support and consultation with pediatric physicians. The oral teratoma was successfully treated with surgery. The patient was regularly followed up and he fully recovered eventually. |
