Abstract

Abstract The case presented is one extremely rare of giant tonsil teratoma with oropharynx localization, with palatine left tonsil origin, inducing respiratory failure, swallowing and phonetic disorders. This paper is based in a study case of a giant tonsil pediculous teratoma with slow evolution, with tolerancy, due to some diagnosis errors, developing respiratory failure and swallowing difficulties.
