Abstract

Three cases of gastric teratoma in infants are described and a review of 26 hitherto reported cases is presented. Our three cases have been treated by excision successfully and all have survived. No recurrence following surgery has been noticed. Male preponderance, appearance in early age of life, abdominal distension and mass including calcification are helpful for diagnosis but a thorough differentiation from nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma and other malignant tumors is needed.
