| Popis: | A new-born baby presented with a large, rapidly growing tumour. The tumour involved the right orbit, the anterior half of the right intracranial space and extended through the skull of the temporal region. The proptotic eye ruptured due to exposure. The tumour was extirpated when the patient was 12 days old. A large recurrence was extirpated two months later. The tumour was firmly bound to the medial aspect of the superior orbital fissure which probably was the location of origin of the tumour. Based on the size of the intracranial-and the orbital part of the tumour, it was classified as a secondary orbital teratoma. The tumour was macroscopically composed of cystic and solid areas. Microscopically it was seen to be a benign teratoma with tissue from all three germinal layers. |
