case_images: We report the case of a 25-day-old female newborn who presents with a congenital tumor of the palate associated with a cleft lip and palate (Figure 1).
case_images: (a) MRI T2-weighted coronal image shows a lesion attached to the nasal septum between the two palate shelves with intrabuccal extension. The lesion is heterogeneous and contains areas of hyperintense signaling (arrow). we note also retention of fluid within ethmoid cells upstream from the tumor (curved arrow). (b) An axial T1-weighted image shows a hyperintense heterogeneous encapsulated lesion measuring 3 cm approximately. (c) T2-weighted fat suppressed axial image shows loss of signal intensity on the tumoral lesion which suggests the presence of macroscopic fat (arrow).

case_images: It also noted the retention of fluid within ethmoid cells upstream from the tumor evoking a mature teratoma (Figure 2).
