Abstract
A female infant with complete cleft lip and palate, macrostomia, and epignathus concurrently was reported. This case weighed 2222g in the 35th week of gestation. The stalk of the mass developed from the nasal septum through the cleft palate. The excised tumor was 7 X 6 x 5,5 cm in size. Histologically, this huge mass consisted of components of the three ge rm layers as follows: nervous tissue, stratified squamous epithelium, connective tissue cartilage which were consistent with typical teratoma. It was considered that this case belongs to categories II of Arnold's and Ill-type of Ewing's and Schwalbe's classifications.
