摘要：

Context: The cervical teratomas are rare, benign tumors, they are formed by the three embryonic layers, and they represent only 6% of teratomas. The prognosis depends mainly on the size and location of the lesion, on the tumor growth rate, and on the level of tracheal compression. Prenatal diagnosis is usually reached with the aid of a two-dimensional ultrasonography (2DUS) after the 15th week of gestation, which shows a large heterogeneous mass in the cervical region, plus a polyhydramnios, on the Doppler mode which also shows the vascularization of the tumor. Case report: We report a case of cervical teratoma diagnosed on the 31st week of gestation with the aid of a 2DUS and color Doppler mode. We focus on the main findings obtained with the three-dimensional ultrasonography in surface mode, and we highlight the importance of this methodology for the indirect evaluation of the neonatal prognosis. © 2006 Springer-Verlag.
