Abstract

We report on a girl with aplasia cutis congenita, epibulbar dermoids, and macrocephaly. To our opinion she has the same ocular-ectodermal syndrome as described by Toriello et al. [Am J Med Genet 45: 764-766, 1993].

Hairy polyp of the oropharynx: case report and literature review.

Hairy polyp of the oronasopharynx is an uncommon developmental malformation that is most frequently seen as a pedunculated tumor in the neonate. Derived from the ectoderm and mesoderm, this benign tumor generally has been classified as dermoid. The clinical presentation is dependent on the polyp's size and location. A full-term girl was evaluated for an oral mass that was first noted at the time of birth. Evaluation showed a 5- x 2.5-cm soft, nontender, skin-covered mass that protruded from the oral cavity. During surgery, it was noted that the stalk was attached to the superior pole of the left tonsil. The histology of the mass was consistent with a hairy polyp. Knowledge of this type of malformation facilitates early intervention and avoids significant morbidity.

Hairy polyp of the tonsil.

Hairy polyps or dermoids of the oro- and naso-pharynx are benign lesions containing elements of both ectodermal and mesodermal origin. We report a case of a hairy polyp arising from the tonsil in a three-week-old infant. This presented as an intermittent swelling in the mouth, which was successfully removed under general anaesthesia. To our knowledge this is only the third case of a hairy polyp arising at this site to be reported. We discuss the terminology applied to these lesions and review the literature.
