ABSTRACT

Fibroepithelial polyps also called achrochordons (skin tags) are benign epithelial tumors, small, pedunculated and soft. They are usually affecting skin fold such as the neck, axillae and the eyelids. A low prevalence has been reported in the vulvar region. We report a 20 year-old-woman presenting a large tumor on the vulvar region with eight years history. Total resection was performed under local anesthesia without complications. Histopathological examination showed a fibroepithelial polyp.
