“…margin was the recommended treatment. The biopsy performed 60 days after the initial lesion excision did not identify residual tumor, it only identified the healing process [11]. Although fibroepithelial polyp is a benign tumor, local recurrence has been reported; therefore, the patient in the current case report remains under clinical follow-up and no local recurrence has been identified, so far [11].…”

“…According to the scientific literature, fibroepithelial stromal polyps (FEPs) are benign skin tumors of mesenchymal and ectodermal origin, also referred to as mesodermal stromal polyps, cellular pseudosarcomatous fibroepithelial polyps, pseudosarcoma botryoids, or acrochordons [1][2][3]. According to their size, FEPs are classified into skin tags if they are millimeters in diameter, fibroepithelial polyps if they are bigger (usually less than 5 cm), and giant fibroepithelial polyps if their size is larger than 5 cm [4].…”

Fibroepithelial stromal polyps (FEPs) are benign skin tumors or lesions of mesenchymal and ectodermal origin, also referred to as acrochordons. Herein, we report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a large ulcerated fibroepithelial stromal polyp extending from the right labium of the vulva. No known predisposing factor was recorded to justify the presence and rapid growth of the polyp. Antibiotic treatment was given due to inflammation, and magnetic resonance imaging was useful in establishing a diagnosis. A wide surgical excision was performed, and a histopathological examination confirmed the initial diagnosis, revealing no nuclear atypia or mitoses. The patient recovered well, and follow-up after one year showed no evidence of complications or recurrence.

“…Fibroepithelial polyp is a rare, locally infiltrative but nonmetastasizing tumor of pelvic soft tissue seen mostly in women of child-bearing age [ 6 ]. Initially, fibroepithelial polyp was described by Norris and Taylor in 1966.…”

“…The first case of vulvar fibroepithelial polyp was described by Ostor et al in 1988 [ 7 , 8 ] Fibroepithelial polyps rarely arises in the vulva and cervix of reproductive-age women [ 9 ]. The most common clinical presentation of fibroepithelial polyp is a painless mass [ 6 ]. Our patient came with complaints of large mass at the left side of her vulva that gradually increased from the size of a thumb until its current size.…”

Fibroepithelial polyps or acrochordons are benign skin tumors of mesenchymal and ectodermal origin. They are seen in 25% of the population, and their frequency increases with age. They are often found in areas with skin folds, such as the neck, axilla, submandibular, or inguinal region. However, they can also be located in the genital tract. Hormone imbalances may facilitate the development of fibroepithelial polyp s (e.g., high levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy). Larger lesions are likely to arise from the proliferation of mesenchymal cells within the hormonally sensitive subepithelial stromal layer of the lower. Generally, their size does not exceed 5 millimeters. We present a 28-year-old patient with multiple giant fibroepithelial polyps with size of 20 × 12 × 8 cm and 9 × 4 × 2 cm , located on both sides of her vulva. Herein, we presented our patient along with the review of current literature pertaining to the diagnosis and the treatment of fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) and the factors leading to excessive growth.
