A 4-year-old girl presented with hypernasal speech. On examination, in addition to velopharyngeal incompetence noted by speech examination, a palatal tumor was found in between the cleft palate. The computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging examinations were suspicious for midline teratoma. Total excision of the nasopalatal tumor was performed, and the pathology revealed benign teratoma. After 6 months of follow-up, no recurrence was noted. A two-flap palatoplasty with a superior-based pharyngeal flap was then performed to reconstruct the palatal defect and to correct the velopharyngeal incompetence. An anterior oronasal fistula developed after the operation, but a tongue flap was transferred to cover the defect successfully. The purpose of this case report is to present the relationship between a congenital midline nasopalatal tumor and cleft palate.
