Teratoma at the esophagogastric junction in a neonate. BACKGROUND: Teratoma at the esophagogastric junction is extremely rare. CASE REPORT: A 26-day-old male neonate who presented with vomiting and melena. OBSERVATION: Investigations revealed a mass at the esophagogastric junction, which was excised and confirmed to be a teratoma. OUTCOME: A fistula at the lower end of the esophagus and an esophageal hiatal hernia were observed as complications. MESSAGE: A careful surgical approach is warranted for a teratoma in esophagogastric junction, to avoid postoperative complications.
