“…Tonsil origin hairy polyp patients presented earlier than other localizations. In one patient a hairy polyp was even found in a fetus, namely after termination of a high-risk pregnancy [3].…”

CT and MRI Features of Hairy Polyps in Neonates and Infants: A Retrospective Study of 14 Patients

“…They mostly occur in newborns, infants, and young children but are occasionally found in adulthood [ 10 , 11 ]. Hairy polyps can even be found and diagnosed in fetuses [ 12 ]. In the current study, neonates constituted almost 78.6% of the cases, which is a significant deviation from earlier studies that suggested that neonates constituted approximately 37% of the cases [ 5 ].…”

Pharyngeal hairy polyps

“…Planas et al reported 1 case occurred in the embryonic period, high-risk pregnancy after the termination of the diagnosis of hairy polyps. [7]…”

“…Hairy polyp is usually presented as an independent disease, which is often combined with cleft palate, uvula dysplasia, microtia and facial development asymmetry; in addition; there were reports presenting the relationship with the rare hypothalamic neuronal hamartoma and the first branchial cleft fistula on the same side. [10] In this paper, the 2-year-old patient with microtia in left ear, the pars basilaris of the mass in the right side of nasopharyngeal part was combined with the polydactyly of the right thumb; the remaining children showed no significant developmental abnormalities.…”
