Abstract:
Hairy polyps, considered a highly unusual congenital anomaly of the pharynx, are believed by many scholars to arise from the ectoderm and mesoderm during the embryonic stage. These growths often have a pear or sausage shape, are pedunculated, and their size ranges between 0.5 and 6 cm. They are typically grayish white or pink in color. This article discusses a 12-year-old female who had a growth at the Eustachian tube\'s entrance on the left side of the nasopharyngeal wall, as identified by a computed tomography scan of the neck soft tissue; it was suspected to be a hairy polyp originating from the left Eustachian tube. The diagnosis of a hairy polyp was confirmed through pathology. The hairy polyp at the Eustachian tube, in this case, showed an irregular form with a wide base, making it look similar to an adenoid; thus, increasing the risk of it being misdiagnosed as residual adenoid tissue.
摘要:
毛状息肉,被认为是一种非常不寻常的先天性咽部异常,许多学者认为是从胚胎阶段的外胚层和中胚层产生的。这些生长物通常具有梨或香肠的形状,被带束,它们的尺寸范围在0.5到6厘米之间。它们通常为灰白色或粉红色。本文讨论了一名12岁的女性,她在鼻咽壁左侧的咽鼓管入口处生长,通过颈部软组织的计算机断层扫描扫描确定;怀疑是源自左咽鼓管的毛状息肉。通过病理证实了毛状息肉的诊断。咽鼓管上的多毛息肉,在这种情况下,表现出不规则的形状,底部很宽,使它看起来像腺样体;因此,增加其被误诊为残余腺样组织的风险。
