Immature teratoma of the larynx

Abstract

Teratomas are unusual tumors which occasionally occur in the head and neck. The tumor consists of the three basic germ-cell layers, in various degrees of maturation. Because of its malignant potential in adults, complete surgical excision is recommended. The patient we have described is believed to provide the first reported case of laryngeal teratoma in the English literature.
