Cervical teratomas are rare congenital neck masses that are most commonly benign but can compromise the fetal and neonatal airway. A majority of cervical teratomas are noted on prenatal ultrasound and require extensive perinatal planning and a multidisciplinary team for airway management at delivery. Once the airway is secured and the infant stabilized, complete surgical excision is the standard of care.
