“…In children, fibroepithelial polyps have been described in the mouth, skin, and urinary tract but never in the bronchi. 2,3 Typically, they appear as a whitish rounded tumor of firm consistency and smooth texture. 4 Pathologic examination is characterized by a core of connective tissue with fibrous, collagenous, hypocellular stroma with some thin-walled ectatic vessels and few inflammatory cells.…”

“…Although most cases of fibroepithelial polyps of tonsils have been detected in adults, some cases have been described in children too, but they are remarkably fewer. Symptoms, location, treatment and histopathological findings do not differ from adult patients [ 16 ]. Fibroepithelial polyps differential diagnosis includes lipomas, plasma cell granulomas, lymphangiomas, neurofibromas, schwannomas, squamous papillomas, fibromyxomas, hairy polyps or angiolipomas [ 10 , 11 , 13 ].…”

Fibroepithelial polyps represent a frequent cutaneous lesion of mesodermal origin, with a prevalence of 1.2% and are rarely located at palatine tonsils. We present a rare clinical report of a 70-year-old female patient with fibroepithelial polyp of palatine tonsil. This entity represents the eighth case of palatine tonsil fibroepithelial polyp in the English literature. She presented with a polypoid mass at the right tonsil and unspecified throat symptoms. Physicians should pay attention to such lesions because of the residual risk of malignant transformation, along with non-specific symptoms. Differential diagnosis was among neurofibroma, lipoma, squamous papilloma and fibroepithelial polyp. Histopathological examination following tonsillectomy showed a structure rich in vesicles inside lamina propria and surrounding inflammation, establishing the diagnosis of a fibroepithelial polyp. It requires vigilance during complete clinical examination, in order to detect masses at patients with throat symptoms that could have remained undiagnosed until they become even life threatening.

“…They mainly occur in the skin, where they are also designated as acrochordons or skin tags [ 12 – 16 ]. They also occur in the genitourinary tract and in the oral cavity (predominantly in the buccal area [ 17 , 18 ]. Rare sites include the orbita [ 12 ], larynx [ 19 , 20 ], tonsil [ 21 , 22 ], bronchi [ 23 ], nasal septum [ 24 ], inferior nasal turbinate [ 25 ], middle ear [ 26 ], and the external auditory canal [ 27 ].…”

DICER1, a member of the ribonuclease III family, is involved in the biogenesis of microRNAs and, hence, it influences gene expression regulation. DICER1 germline (associated with the inherited DICER1 syndrome) or somatic mutations have been linked to tumorigenesis in histogenetically diverse benign and malignant neoplasms in different organs including pleuropulmonary blastoma, cystic nephroma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma, poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma, thyroblastoma, intracranial sarcoma and gonadal Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors in addition to others. Moreover, rare botryoid (giant) fibroepithelial polyps may harbor this mutation. Herein, we describe the first reported case of a DICER1-mutated botryoid fibroepithelial polyp occurring within the parotid duct of a 65-year-old female who has no other features or family history of the DICER1 syndrome. Based on its distinctive morphology, we tested this lesion specifically for DICER1 mutations and confirmed the presence of a pathogenic DICER1 variant with a low allele frequency, consistent with a somatic mutation.
