Hairy polyp is a rare, benign tumor that frequently localizes in the nasopharynx and oropharynx. The embryogenesis of hairy polyp is not known precisely. The clinical profile can vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. In this report, we present a case with hairy polyp who was admitted with acute otitis media and completely recovered after spontaneous autoamputation.

pharyngeal teratomas are rare. we present a mature solid teratoma (so called “hairypolyp”) involving naso- and oro- pharynx in a female infant who presented with a gradually enlarging mass at the roof of the mouth since birth. the pharyngeal mass was protruding into the mouth through a palatine defect present posteriorly which was removed completely. subsequently she developed malposed anterior...

Hairy polyp of the oronasopharynx is a rare developmental malformation. It is usually seen as a pedunculated tumor in the neonate. It is classified as a dermoid since it is derived from the ectoderm and mesoderm. We describe a neonate with a hairy polyp originating from the right lateral pharyngeal wall causing significant respiratory distress with cyanosis and stridor immediately after birth. ...
