Hairy polyp and choristoma are rare benign developmental malformations. Hairy polyp mainly occurs in the nasopharynx whereas choristoma occurs in the dorsum of the tongue. Aetiology and pathogenesis of both hairy polyp and choristoma still remain unknown. Diagnosis is made by histological examination and complete excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of hairy polyp and choristoma on the palate and the dorsum of the tongue respectively in a seventeen days old baby.

“…Hairy polyps are benign congenital malformations that typically present at birth with respiratory distress, shortness of breath, cyanosis, and difficulties with oral intake [1,2]. Hairy polyps of the nasopharynx most commonly arise from the lateral wall or superior aspect of the pharynx, but can also arise from the hard and soft palates, tonsils, tongue, Eustachian tube, and middle ear [1][2][3][4].…”

Hairy polyps of the nasopharynx display characteristic radiological imaging findings, including the presence of fat in the polypoid mass. Furthermore, diagnostic imaging is useful for delineating the site of origin of these lesions, which can facilitate surgical planning. For instance hairy polyps that arise from the right Eustachian tube can be amputated via a trans-nasal approach with endoscopy, but may necessitate a two stage approach in order to avoid injury to critical structures, such as the internal carotid artery. On histology, hairy polyps comprise an outer keratinizing squamous epithelium with adnexal tissue, including hair follicles, and central fibroadipose and cartilaginous tissue. These features are exemplified in this sine qua non radiology-pathology correlation article.

“…He also had described it as a type of dermoid due to its mature bigerminal composition [7]. HP is relatively rare and has an incidence of 1 in 40,000 live births and have a tendency to occur in female newborns [8,9]. Due to this presentation, HP is typically defined as a disease of early infancy and is very exceptional after the first year of life [10].…”
