Abstract: The antro-coanal polyp is a neoformation originating from the maxillary sinus occupying the homolateral nasal fossa extending to the nasopharynx. The therapy is generally surgical and takes place through endoscopic surgery. In this work a neoformation of this kind is described which massively invaded nasopharynx and oropharynx whose removal was carried out radically through the oropharynx. The completeness of the excision was checked with a nasal endoscopic approach. The uncommon size and the oropharyngeal removal make this clinical case remarkable.
Keywords: antro-coanal polyp, maxillary sinus, nasopharynx, oropharynx.
