A case of congenital nasopharyngeal teratoid tumour presenting since birth projecting into oral cavity through the palatal cleft and gradually increasing in size thus causing breathing and feeding difficulty in a four months old female child is presented here for its rarity. A brief review of literature and management of such patients is also discussed here.
