Abstract: A 78-year-old man with an history of actinic keratoses and basal cell carcinoma presented to dermatology clinic for a full skin exam with an asymptomatic lesion on his left hand that had been present for months. Physical exam revealed a 7 mm flesh-colored and dome-shaped subcutaneous papule on his left ulnar dorsal hand (Figure 1). At the time of examination, the lesion was suspected to be either a dermatofibroma or neurofibroma. A shave biopsy of the lesion was performed, and histologic examination revealed a pilar cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium with trichilemmal differentiation and containing compact keratin (Figure 2). The patient was reassured that the lesion was benign, and no further treatment was needed.

Abstract: Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs), also known as “skin tags” or “acrochordons,” are common cutaneous lesions formed from soft excrescences of skin. FEPs are generally considered benign and have low rates of containing other pathology. In a comparative study from 1996, 1335 unsuspicious FEPs were examined and only 5 showed malignant tumors on histology, three of which were BCC.
