Prenatal Diagnosis of a Facial Teratoma. A Proposed Approach to Diagnose Prenatal Facial Anomalies

We report on a rare case of a prenatally diagnosed isolated facial teratoma, presenting as an avascular elongated ossified lesion arising from the inferior lateral rim of the orbit. There was no evidence of fetal compromise throughout the course of the pregnancy, which resulted in term delivery of a healthy neonate by elective Caesarean section. We summarize the key features, differential diagnoses, prognosis and management of fetal facial lesions.
