Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cervical teratomas are rare congenital neoplasms that can cause neonatal airway obstruction if large. CASE PRESENTATION The female Persian neonate displayed respiratory distress at birth, with a 7 cm × 8 cm cystic solid mass identified on the left side of the neck. Antenatal ultrasonography revealed polyhydramnios. Despite initial stabilization, the infant required intubation and mechanical ventilation due to persistent respiratory distress. Imaging confirmed a cystic mass compressing the trachea, ruling out cystic hygroma. Surgical resection on postnatal day 17 revealed a 10 cm × 10 cm solid cystic structure, histologically identified as an immature teratoma. CONCLUSION Despite risks of poor fetal and postnatal outcome from large cervical teratomas, early surgical resection after airway stabilization can result in recovery. Proper multidisciplinary management of respiratory distress from such tumors is paramount.

Abstract
Cervical teratomas are one of the rare tumors. Relating to the size of the tumor, they present as a huge neck mass with solid and cystic components. Furthermore, they are able to induce a hyperextension of the neck, neonatal respiratory distress, and possible malignancy. The computed tomography scan examination of this case revealed that there was a mass. It was a component of a teratoma and pathological anatomy which supported the finding. Thus, this study provided a case of a fully excised and cured cervical mature teratoma occurred in an infant. Surgical management must be undergone as thorough as feasible in order to prevent recurrences and the development of the cancer.

Abstract
Cervical teratoma is a rare form of teratoma in neonates and is an unusual cause of cervical masses in them. Teratomas are unusual tumors derived from all 3 germs cell layers: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm, with varying proportions. The cervical teratoma is a rare entity. Its prognosis mostly depends on the risk of neonatal respiratory distress, its extension and potential malignancy. Surgical management must be as complete as possible to avoid recurrences and malignant transformation. We report a case of a cervical immature teratoma in an infant with total excision and cure. No recurrence has been reported. The aim of our study is to review the diagnosis, management and outcomes of congenital cervical teratomas. Cervical teratoma although uncommon should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses in neonates. Teratomas are rare tumors derived from all three germ cell layers affecting the neck in 3% of all cases. An early complete surgical approach to congenital cervical teratomas allows good results with low rates of complication and recurrence.

Abstract
Diseases occurring with an incidence of less than 1-10 cases per 10 000 individuals are considered as rare. Currently, between 5 000 and 8 000 rare or orphan diseases are known, every year about 250 rare diseases are newly described. Many of those pathologies concern the head and neck area. In many cases, a long time is required to diagnose an orphan disease. The lives of patients who are affected by those diseases are often determined by medical consultations and inpatient stays. Most orphan diseases are of genetic origin and cannot be cured despite medical progress. However, during the last years, the perception of and the knowledge about rare diseases has increased also due to the fact that publicly available databases have been created and self-help groups have been established which foster the autonomy of affected people. Only recently, innovative technical progress in the field of biogenetics allows individually characterizing the genetic origin of rare diseases in single patients. Based on this, it should be possible in the near future to elaborate tailored treatment concepts for patients suffering from rare diseases in the sense of translational and personalized medicine. This article deals with orphan diseases of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, and cervical soft tissues depicting these developments. The readers will be provided with a compact overview about selected diseases of these anatomical regions. References to further information for medical staff and affected patients support deeper knowledge and lead to the current state of knowledge in this highly dynamic field.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide a comprehensive overview of the perinatal and maternal outcomes of fetuses undergoing EXIT surgery for the management of fetal airway obstruction secondary to cervical or oral tumors. METHODS A comprehensive search from inception to September 2018 was conducted on databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and LILACS. All studies that reported an EXIT surgery in singleton were considered eligible. A descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS Out of the 250 full-text study reports, 120 articles reporting 235 cases of EXIT surgery were included. EXIT surgery was performed at 35.1 weeks of gestation on average. The most frequent diagnosis was teratoma (46.4%, n = 109/235). There were 13 adverse maternal events, and the most frequent one was postpartum hemorrhage (4.7%, n = 11/235). No maternal death was reported. Fetal and neonatal death occurred in 17% (40/235) of the cases. There were 29 adverse fetal events (12.2%), and the most frequent one was the failure of intubation or tracheostomy (3.4%, n = 8/235). CONCLUSION EXIT surgery could be considered for the management of an oral or cervical tumor that's highly suspicious of blocking the fetal airway. This systematic review reports that EXIT surgery poses substantial risks of maternal and fetal adverse events, including neonatal death. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV case series with no comparison group.

Abstract
Cervical teratomas are a rare form of fetal teratoma that can grow to massive size. Generally, these masses can be surgically excised after birth with excellent physical and functional prognosis because the benign variants respect anatomical borders. The primary complications of these masses are associated with compromise of the trachea and esophagus: upper airway obstruction and polyhydramnios. We report the first documented occurrence of superior vena cava syndrome and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy associated with a massive, right-sided cervical teratoma. This case highlights that when cervical teratomas are right-sided and sufficiently large, they can extend inferiorly and compromise central venous return to the heart. This unique presentation would likely have required fetal surgical excision to avoid catastrophic cerebral injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Currently no established criteria exist to guide use of ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) for fetal neck mass management. This study aims to correlate prenatal radiographic findings with incidence of ex utero intrapartum treatment and necessity of airway intervention at delivery. METHODS We reviewed our EXIT experience between 2012 and 17. Furthermore, we performed a literature review of articles reporting incidences of fetal neck masses considered for EXIT. Articles that were included (1) discussed prenatal radiographic findings such as size, features, and evidence of compression and (2) reported extractable data on delivery outcomes and airway status. RESULTS Ten cases at our institution were reviewed. Another 137 cases across 81 studies met inclusion criteria. These studies showed aerodigestive tract compression to be significantly associated with neck masses undergoing EXIT. Additionally, there was significantly higher incidence of airway intervention in cases where polyhydramnios, anatomic compression, and solid masses were seen on prenatal diagnostic imaging, while mass location and size did not correlate with airway intervention. CONCLUSION With this data, we propose that any neck mass with anatomic compression on fetal imaging in the 3rd trimester should be considered for EXIT. When radiographic findings do not show compression but do display polyhydramnios or a solid neck mass (regardless of polyhydramnios), an airway surgeon should be available for perinatal airway assistance.

Abstract
Congenital cervical teratomas are rare tumours arising from the neck and consist of three major tissue layers of an embryo: the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. A great majority of cervical teratomas are benign tumours. However, the clinical significance of these tumours arises from the complications they can cause during pregnancy due to the postnatal mass effect on the airway and oesophagus of the neonate. Diagnosis of a congenital cervical teratoma is possible during an early prenatal ultrasound evaluation. The appearance depends on the size of the tumour, but it is typically a large neck mass with solid and cystic components that causes hyperextension of the neck and is frequently associated with polyhydramnios. In the postnatal period, ultrasound helps in differentiating cervical teratoma from other common congenital cervical masses. MRI is the modality of choice to evaluate the consistency of the tumour, surrounding soft tissue extent of the tumour, and any mass effect on other cervical structures. In our case report, we present a case of a full-term baby that was delivered with a large cervical mass. MRI was helpful in demonstrating the complex content of the mass, surrounding soft tissue extension, and mass effect on other major cervical structures. The clear demarcation of the mass facilitated complete surgical removal without complications.

Abstract
Congenital cervical teratomas are rare and usually large enough to cause respiratory distress in the neonatal period. We present two cases of congenital huge cystic neck masses in which distinguishing cervical cystic hygroma and congenital cystic teratoma was not possible through radiologic imaging techniques. Experience with the first case, which was initially diagnosed and treated as cystic hygroma by injection sclerotherapy, led to early suspicion and surgery in the second case. The masses were excised completely and histopathologic diagnoses were congenital teratoma in both patients. Our aim is to review congenital huge neck masses causing respiratory distress in early neonatal life to highlight this dilemma briefly with these interesting cases.

INTRODUCTION Head and neck teratoma is a rare entity. Its prognosis mostly depends on the risk of neonatal respiratory distress, its extension and potential malignancy. Surgical management must be as complete as possible to avoid recurrences and malignant transformation. The authors present a retrospective analysis of 6 cervicofacial teratomas and a review of the literature. The aim of the study was to analyse prenatal, neonatal and postnatal management of teratoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Charts of children presenting with a head and neck teratoma, managed by our maxillofacial and plastic surgery unit, were analysed and antenatal, clinical, biological, radiological and pathological characteristics were collected. Surgical treatment, recurrences and surgical outcomes were analysed. RESULTS Six patients were included: 2 with a cervical teratoma, 2 with a facial teratoma and 2 with intraoral teratomas. In 2 cases, the lesions were diagnosed antenatally and both patients required neonatal resuscitation. All the patients underwent early surgery, and 3 with complete excisions. All patients with an initial incomplete excision eventually presented a recurrence and therefore second look surgery. No malignant transformation was noted. CONCLUSION Early prenatal diagnosis is crucial to neonatal care. Early surgery and meticulous follow-up are critical in the long-term favourable outcome.

Abstract
Teratomas are embryonal neoplasms that arise when totipotential germ cells escape the developmental control of primary organizers and give rise to tumors containing tissue derived from all three blastodermic layers. Teratomas have been reported to occur in various sites and organs. Teratoma of the cervical neck are relatively rare in adulthood. It usually extends from the neck to the thoracic cavity causing local mass effect. In most of the cases intrauterine diagnosis is possible by ultrasound. Because of dyspnea due to mass effect, this condition is treated promptly after birth. However cases of teratoma in adulthood with supraclavicular localization have been reported rarely in the literature. The presented case is of a 25-year-old female with a cervical mass. Histological examination revealed a benign mature teratoma. The patient has been disease free for more than nine years after surgical removal of a neck teratoma.
