The hairy polyp of the pharynx is a rare congenital benign tumor of the pharynx, which is most often diagnosed before the age of 1 year.
A clinical case of an almost asymptomatic course of the disease in a child under 3 years old is described. During the last 1.5 years the patient had developed difficulty in nasal breathing, snoring while sleeping. The MRI revealed a soft tissue tumor of the nasopharynx with sizes of 18×35×32 mm. After presurgical preparation, under endotracheal anesthesia under the control of a rigid endoscope, with the help of micro-instruments and the ERBE VIO electrosurgical equipment, the tumor was separated and removed.
Diagnosis: hairy polyp. The postoperative period was satisfactory. The patient was discharged on the 4th day after surgery. During follow-up for the next 3 months there was no recurrence of the tumor.
Key words: hairy polyp of the pharynx, teratoma
