Case Report: Mature congenital teratoma masquerading as orbital cellulitis in a 12-day-old infant

Orbital teratoma should be suspected in a rapidly growing orbital mass in a newborn. Imaging showing characteristic findings should lead to prompt excisional biopsy. Tumor markers can be used to monitor for recurrence, which is rare.

Orbital teratoma should be suspected in a rapidly growing orbital mass in a newborn. Imaging showing characteristic findings should lead to prompt excisional biopsy. Tumor markers can be used to monitor for recurrence, which is rare.
