The S.C. ‘Hairy Polyp’ or ‘Dermoid’ of the nasopharynx: An unusual observation in older age

: A case of 'hairy polyp' or 'dermoid' of the nasopharynx in a 71-year-old man is described. This tumor-like condition is usually discovered at birth or during the first years of life. The oldest patient previously recorded in the literature was a 66-year-old man. The occurrence of such masses in older patients suggests that the condition is a malformation and not a neoplasm.
