Nasopharyngeal teratoma and diaphragmatic hernia: no longer a random association but a new syndrome?

Clin Dysmorphol. 2009 Jul;18(3):131-134. doi: 10.1097/MCD.0b013e3283202a45.

Abstract

We describe a female infant with a diaphragmatic hernia and nasopharyngeal teratoma. The case is compared with two previous reports of this combination of features. We suggest that this can no longer be considered a random association but instead represents the emergence of a distinct syndrome of which this case represents the third report.
