    Fetal oral cavity immature teratoma is a rare condition with significant morbidity and mortality during the perinatal period.

  • 2

    Imaging features include a large solid-cystic mass in the oropharynx, with heterogeneous density and punctate calcifications.

  • 3

    MRI findings show low signal intensity on T1WI and high signal intensity on T2WI, indicating immature neuroepithelial elements.

  • 4

    Concurrent intracranial abnormalities, such as arachnoid cyst and meningocele, were identified, which are uncommon with oral teratomas.

  • 5

    Multimodal imaging enhances prenatal diagnosis and differentiation of immature teratomas from other oral masses.
