Malignant orbital teratoma in a neonate: A clinicopathological case report

M VS Prakash, R Indira, M Radhakrishnan, G LeelaJournal of Postgraduate Medicine 2017 63(3):203-205Teratoma of the orbit is rare; very few cases have been published in literature. A case of orbital teratoma in a neonate is presented where the proptosis was massive enough to obscure the eyeball. Clinically, the diagnosis of teratoma was considered. As there was no possibility of salvaging the eye, exenteration of the orbit was done. Orbital teratomas are generally benign. Histopathological examination revealed the features of malignant teratoma.
