説明
<jats:p>The pharyngeal ‘hairy polyp’, or ‘dermoid’ has caused considerable debate as to its origin since the original classification proposed by Arnold in 1870.<jats:sup>1</jats:sup> This classification implies that the hairy polyp is either a teratoma or sequestration dermoid cyst. Many papers contest this view, in favour of a developmental malformation. We describe the first case of a hairy polyp in association with an ipsilateral branchial sinus as further supportive evidence of a developmental malformation of the second branchial arch.</jats:p>
