Abstract
An oropharyngeal teratoma (epignathus) is a rare malformation composed of cells from all three germinal layers and few papers have been published about it. Epignathus arises from the palate or pharynx and protrudes from the mouth. We present a large skin-covered teratoma that arose from the hard palate in a neonate. A total surgical excision was performed and histology examination showed mature teratoma with no malignant features.
