Oropharyngeal teratoma
A non-seminomatous germ cell tumor characterized by the presence of various tissues which correspond to the different germinal layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). It occurs in the testis, ovary, and extragonadal sites including central nervous system, mediastinum, lung, and stomach. According to the level of differentiation of the tissues which comprise the tumor, teratomas are classified as benign (grade 0 or 1), immature (grade 2), and malignant (grade 3). Grade 0 teratomas contain only mature elements; grade 1 teratomas have a limited degree of immaturity; grade 2 teratomas have a more extensive degree of immaturity; grade 3 teratomas are composed exclusively of immature tissues. The prognosis depends on patient age, tumor size and grade, and stage.

Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) flap is a flap with small volume of muscle on its proximal portion and a thin fasciocutaneous flap on its distal portion. TFL flap in this case was designed in a V-shaped pattern and an extended double folding TFL flap was used in order to cover the sore with a large amount of soft tissue. There is no sign of recurrences after 3 months follow-up. This is a good method for covering trochanteric pressure sores. Check the case and add your valuable opinion.
