Hairy polyps are rare, congenital malformations of the oropharynx and nasopharynx. To date, approximately 145 cases have been reported. However, the histogenesis of these lesions remains unclear.
We report the case of a 2-day-old neonate presenting with a hairy polyp attached to the left palate, who re-presented aged 16 months with a discharging first branchial arch sinus.
We propose this case as supporting evidence for the theory that hairy polyps are a malformation of the first branchial arch system.
毛发状息肉是口咽和鼻咽部罕见的先天性畸形。迄今为止,已报道约145例。然而,这些病变的组织发生仍不清楚。
我们报告一例2日龄新生儿,其左腭部附着有毛发状息肉,该患儿在16个月大时再次出现第一鳃弓窦道流脓。
我们提出此病例作为毛发状息肉是第一鳃弓系统畸形这一理论的支持证据。
