Infantile vomiting can occur from many causes. A mass in the nasopharynx is an obscure reason for emesis. Maternal detection of an intermittently visible mass secured a diagnosis that had eluded observation, even after the patient had been hospitalized. "Hairy polyp" has received almost no attention in the Pediatrics literature. 1,2 This report is both for information about the unusual tumor and for reaffirmation of the value of parental observation.
