title: Hairy polyps of the nasopharynx.
abstract: Hairy polyps are rare tumours that can occur anywhere in the body. They are especially rare inthe pharynx. We report two cases of hairy polyps which originated from the nasopharynx. One presented with intermittent obstruction of the airway and the second presented as a visible pedunculated mass protruding from the mouth of a neonate.
