摘要
Hairy polyp is an unusual, rare benign developmental malformation of neonates and infants. Embryologically, they are benign lesions containing of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. Based on size, location of the lesion, they can produce symptoms such as feeding difficulties, airway obstructions, apneic episodes. We present a case of hairy polyp at Oro/Nasopharynx causing feeding difficulties immediately after birth. We explained the mode of presentation, imaging studies, treatment, and review of literature of congenital hairy polyp/choristoma.
