| Popis: | 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. |
