A Case of So-called Hairy Polyp of the Nasopharynx in Neonate
ABSTRACT
So-called Hairy Polyp is a strictly developmental anomaly in early embryogenesis and unlike trigerminal neoplastic teratomas, the hairy polyp is derived from two germ cells, the ectoderm and mesoderm, which is composed of a conglomeration of disorganized and disorderly tissues the form a sessile to a pedunculated mass that is attached to the nasopharynx.
Recently, authors have experienced a hairy polyp at the posterior portion of nasopharynx from a two days old male patient and hereby we report a case with a brief review of literature.
