This case report discusses a presentation of a giant facial teratoma, a rare congenital neoplasm. Head and neck locations of the tumour uncommonly distort the face and may be associated with functional problems.

Reviewing this case with the supporting body of literature anticipates further investigation to address patients’ needs more thoroughly.
