What is the Prognosis for Neonates with Teratomas?
The prognosis for neonates with teratomas largely depends on the tumor's location, size, and whether it is benign or malignant. Most neonatal teratomas are benign, and the surgical outcome is generally favorable. However, malignant teratomas, although rare, require more aggressive treatment and may have a less favorable prognosis. Early detection and intervention are critical for improving outcomes.
