Abstract:
The hairy polyp of the oronasopharynx is a rare congenital malformation that has been classified as a dermoid, teratoid, teratoma, or hamartoma in the past. A case of oropharyngeal hairy polyp is presented that occurred in a male neonate with severe intermittent respiratory obstruction. The precise nosology of this unusual malformation is discussed, with the speculation that it is classified as a choristoma.
