Abstract
Hairy polyp is a rare, benign tumor that comprises ectodermal and mesodermal germ layers. The embryogenesis of hairy polyp is precisely unknown, and concurrently, it has a female predominance. Although hairy polyp is observed in every part of the body; it is frequently located in the nasopharynx and oropharynx. Respiratory distress and feeding difficulties are the most related symptoms. Differential diagnoses comprise hemangioma, teratoma, epidermoid cyst, neuroblastoma, and meningocele. In this report, a seven-year-old patient who was admitted to our clinic with swallowing difficulty because of an oropharyngeal hairy polyp was described.
Özet
Tüylü polip nadir görülen benign bir tümör olup, ektodermal ve mezodermal germ tabakalarından oluş- maktadır. Tüylü polibin embriyogenezi tam olarak bilinmemekte birlikte kadınlarda daha sık görülmektedir. Vücudun her bölgesinde görülebilmesine rağmen, sıklıkla nazofarinks ve orofarinkste görülür. En sık semptomlar solunum ve yutma güçlüğüdür. Ayırıcı tanıda hemanjiom, teratom, epidermoid kist, nöroblastom ve meningosel yer alır. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimize orofaringeal tüylü polip nedeniyle yutma güçlüğü şikayeti ile başvuran yedi yaşındaki hasta sunulmuştur.
