Abstract:
Infantile immature teratoma located in the nasopharynx is a rare congenital tumor that is not easily removed. Three surgeries and chemotherapy for recurrence of the tumor have been performed since a male infant with a nasopharyngeal mass was born at a gestational age of 35 weeks. Extended maxillotomy combining Le Fort I osteotomy with midline palatal split was performed at 2 years and 6 months of age. Residual tumor left in the intracranial region had not increased as of 4 years of age. Careful follow-up is needed until the patient reaches adulthood.
