Abstract:
Gastric Teratomas are exetremely rare in infancy and childhood. About 50 cases of gastric teratomas are reported in the world's literature. Most of them were male. Few were dignosed prior to surgery. The mos thelpful diagnostic aid was of teeth or bone in radiologic examinations. Treatment is surgical excision and all of them were benign. Recently, we experienced a case of gastric teratoma combined with congental syphilis which was confirmed by explo-lapa and biopsy in 2month old male infant, who had large intraabdominal mass, vomiting, respiratory distress and skin lesions. The literature on this subject was reviewed briefly.
