Abstract

Extragonadal teratoma is generally located all along the midline. They are found in decreasing incidence in the sacrococcygeal region (40%), pineal region (13.3%), cervical (13.1%), palatine and nasopharyngeal region (8%), heart (7.5%), stomach (2.6%), mediastinum (2.6%), orbits (2.4%), face (1.5%), placenta (1.5%), and other very rare locations (3%) [1]. Today with the improvement of ultrasounds (US), the diagnosis is done prenatally. Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) although the commonest germ-cell tumor in children is a rare fetal anomaly. The majority present at birth as an external sacral mass; however, some intrapelvic SCT may be unapparent. A final paragraph will treat of the 10% cervical teratoma concerning the neck, the nasopharynx and/or the oropharynx.
