A BSTRACT Aims and Objective: The aim of this study is to highlight the rarity of this disorder and it’s clinicopathological features, associated anomalies and our objective is to review our experiences in the management and outcomes of the babies with short term follow up. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in a tertiary care center from June 2013 to May 2020 with a follow-up period ranged from 5 years to 12 years. Results and Analysis: Twenty newborn babies were included in our study out of which nine babies having mature teratoma (45%), five having congenital epulis (25%), and two having multiple hamartoma (10%). Rest four were epignathus, rhabdomyosarcoma, dermoid, and hairy polyp. Except rhabdomyosarcoma, all babies were doing well in follow-up. Conclusion: The overall prognosis for newborn oropharyngeal tumor (OPT) is good. Early diagnosis, the establishment of good airway, complete excision of tumor and timely follow-up are the key factors for the survival of newborn. For congenital teratomas, oropharyngeal cavity is one of the rarest sites (2% of all teratomas).
