Abstract
The great majority of teratomas of the head and neck present in the ne onate or infant are biologically benign and yet with a high mortality because of their space-occupying and obstructive character. Teratomas in the adult neck and sinonasal tract are histologically and biologica lly malignant, with an often unpredictable response to therapy.
