“…10,12,14 It is worth noting that most lesions are single and unilateral, 3,9 and they occur 6.5 times more frequently on the left side. 1,6,7 The lesion described here was single, pedunculated and located in the midline of the tongue, 15 which made it simple for the mass to be excised without the need for preoperative imaging. 1,3 There are some reported cases of multiple lesions in newborns and adults, but these are considered rare.…”

“…Cases of HP are rare, and lesions are usually located in the nasopharynx or soft palate and identified in the first years of life. [4][5][6][7] The incidence of HP is six times higher in women. 3,8,9 Four out of 10 cases of oral HP reported in the present review occurred in men (Table 2).…”

“…4 The symptoms of HP depend on its location and extent, but as it is a congenital malformation associated with obstruction of upper airways, it can cause respiratory distress, choking episodes, cyanosis, and feeding difficulties. 6,7 HPs can also be asymptomatic, and are most often completely resolved after surgery. 12,13 The present review describes three cases of HP in the tongue, 4,10,14 two asymptomatic cases, 2,11 and three cases with no reports of the presence or absence of symptoms.…”

Objective: To report an unusual case of oral hairy polyp (HP) and review the literature, providing epidemiological, clinical and histopathological information on this disease. Case description: A 12-year-old male patient was referred to a Stomatology department with a nodule in the posterior midline of the tongue. The patient did not know exactly when it arose or whether it had grown since then. Clinical exam revealed a bulky and mobile pedunculated mass lesion on the dorsum of the tongue, with a diameter of approximately 1 cm. The patient’s mother reported no previous health problem. An excisional biopsy was performed, the surgical specimen was sent for anatomopathological analysis, and the findings were compatible with the diagnosis of HP. Comments: Hairy polyp is a rare lesion, especially in the oral region. The literature search revealed only 10 case reports of oral HP published between January 1999 and January 2019, and they revealed a predominance of the disease in female newborns. Two uncommon facts were presented in this case: the patient was male and diagnosis was made at 12 years old.

“…This was also noted in our case. A polyp may partially, or completely obstruct the way to the trachea or oesophagus giving the symptoms of the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract [14][15][16] . Depending on the location and size, polyps can give symptoms immediately after birth, but they may also accidentally be discovered in late childhood and exceptionally in adults 1,7 .…”

Congenital hairy polyp - a case report

et al. 2019

Introduction. Hairy polyp is a rare malformation which consists of mesodermal and ectodermal elements. It is the most common congenital nasopharyngeal tumour. The clinical symptoms depend on the size and localization of the mass. Early surgical excision results in permanent cure. Case report. The child was born from regularly controlled pregnancy. Prenatally, in the 24th week of gestation, epulis gigantocellularis was suspected, magnetic resonance imaging confirmed existence of protruding mass. Immediately after the birth, a tissue formation connected with the hard palate was observed protruding out of the mouth, as well as split of soft palate and tongue. In the first day of life the child was intubated and a mechanical ventilatory support started. In the fourth day of life, tracheostomy was performed. In the 40th day of life, the tumor mass was entirely excised with the reconstruction of the existing deformity of the mouth. The histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of hairy polyp. In the fifth month of life, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy was placed. At the beginning of the second age, the split of tongue and soft palate was sewn. With the establishment of normal swallowing, decannulation and closing of tracheostomy were performed and then gastrostomy was closed. Conclusion. Although the hairy polyp is a rare tumor, it must be included in the differential diagnosis of pharyngeal mass in the neonatal period. If there are no associated anomalies and if complete surgical resection of the tumor is performed, further course of the treatment will be favourable.

“…Histologically, they contain both ectodermal and mesodermal tissues [2]. The point of insertion into the pharynx can vary: most of the tumors are linked to the soft palate [2], but some authors published palatopharyngeus muscle as the origin point [4].…”

Hairy polyps are tumors that have been described in the literature as congenital masses usually found in the nasopharynx. Clinical symptoms are a consequence of disease dimensions and anatomical positioning. Although rare, this kind of tumors can be mistaken for neurologic impairment of an infant. Histological examination is the base for classification of this malformation. Earlier management of the disease could prevent possible complications (of the airway) and allow a better long-term growth of the patient.
