Nasopharyngeal hairy polyp (HP) is a developmental anomaly composed predominantly of ectodermal and mesodermal tissue but lacking endo dermal-derived tissues. Hairy Polyp (HP) is relatively rare and has an incidence of 1 in 40,000 live births. We report a 30 day old female baby brought to the outpatient department with an oral cavity mass detected accidentally by the care taker, Grandmother. Endoscopic examination revealed a pedunculated mass protruding from the nasopharynx, arising near Right Eustachian tube orifice Excision of the mass was done. Histopathological examination revealed features of Hairy Polyp.
