Teratomas in the palate are the rare tumors that are associated with high mortality secondary to the obstruction to the airway tract. The incidence of teratoma in the oral cavity, and particularly in hard palate is relatively rare. The present case report is of a mature teratoma associated with the cleft palate in a 20 days old female neonate.
