Transoral endoscopic resection of a nasopharyngeal hairy polyp.

Hairy polyps are rare congenital benign tumors that usually present a pedunculated mass in the oronasopharynx. A hairy polyp originating from the left eustachian tube orifice was found in a 7-month-old girl presenting sleep apnea and blood-tinged vomiting. This was successfully removed by transoral surgery under endoscopic visualization. The endoscope-guided surgery may help avoid undesirable complications as well as completely excise the lesions attached close to the eustachian tube openings.
