However, histological features such as normal or hyperplastic epidermis overlying a fibrovascular tissue core may help for confirmation, especially in unusual cases, that their clinical features may overlap with those of malignant neoplasms. In most instances, they don’t need to be submitted for microscopic evaluation. Skin tags, which are also referred to as achrochordons or fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs), are small, soft, fleshcolored to dark brown, usually pedunculated outgrowth of epidermal and dermal tissue that commonly occur on the neck, in the axillae, on the eyelids and in rare cases around genital region. Keywords:Skin Tag, Vulva, Labium, Achrochordon Excision of these types of skin tags is recommended for pathological examination. Conclusion: Large skin tags on genitourinary region can be confused with a malignancy.
Total excision of the lesion was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of achrochordon. Case Presentation: Herein a large achrochordon of the left labium majus is presented. Received 21 June 2014 revised 20 July 2014 accepted 15 August 2014īackground: Skin tags (achrochordons, fibroepithelial polyps) are pedunculated lesions which commonly occur in areas of skin fold such as the neck, the axillae, the eyelids.
