We report a case of a rare hamartomatous polyp originating from the left nasopharyngeal wall in a 4 year old female child. The characteristic microscopic appearance was neither fitting clearly into any of the known types of hamartomas i.e. epithelial, mesenchymal and mixed nor into the category of a teratoma.
