Abstract
SummaryHairy polyps are rare benign congenital tumors of the oro-nasopharynx. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, the neonate usually presents with upper aerodigestive tract obstruction and/or failure to thrive. Despite adequate discussion in the literature, no definitive embryogenesis of the hairy polyp is known. We report a case of what we believe is the first concomitant occurrence of nasopharyngeal hairy polyp, West syndrome and laryngomalacia. The clinical presentation, investigation, management, histopathological features, and literature review of this lesion will be described and discussed.
