    <Abstract>Congenital nasopharyngeal teratoma or epignathus is a very rare congenital neoplasms, it may be mature, immature or malignant. We report the case of a 04-day old female neonate, with a teratoma of the nasopharyngeal area. Examination showed a polypoid mass protruding from the nasopharynx measuring 3 x 2 x 2 cm, covered on one side with numerous fine and coarse hair. Surgical excision of the mass was performed under general anesthesia on day 4 after birth. Pathology revealed a well differentiated mature teratoma. The patient had no complication in the postoperative period.</Abstract>
