'''Fibroepithelial polyp''', also known as '''acrochordon''' and '''skin tag''', is a very common benign skin lesion. | |||
==General== | |||
*Benign. | |||
*Older people. | |||
*May be associated with pregnancy, [[diabetes]], [[intestinal polyposis]].<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8|596>{{Ref PCPBoD8|596}}</ref> | |||
*Can be a component of ''[[Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome]]''. | |||
==Gross== | |||
*Raised skin-coloured lesion. | |||

==Microscopic== | |||
Features: | |||
*On a stalk / epithelium on three sides. | |||
*Benign epidermis. | |||
*Fibrous core. | |||
*+/-Inflammation. | |||
DDx: | |||
*Pedunculated [[seborrheic keratosis]] - typically have epidermal hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, horn cysts.<ref name=Ref_Derm342>{{Ref Derm|342}}</ref> | |||
*Regressing [[melanocytic lesions]]. | |||
**[[Intradermal melanocytic nevus]]. | |||
*[[Nevus lipomatosus superficialis]] - abundant adipocytes in the superficial dermis. | |||
*[[Neurofibroma]]. | |||

===Micro=== | |||
The sections show a fragment of skin with epithelium on three sides. The epithelium matures normally and is not hypertrophic. Orthokeratosis is present. The core of the lesion has fibrous tissue. There is no significant inflammation. No melanocytic nests are identified. | |||
====Inflamed==== | |||
The sections show a fragment of skin with epithelium on three sides. The epithelium matures | |||
and is acanthotic. Minimal parakeratosis is present. The core of the lesion consists of | |||
fibrous tissue with a mild lymphocyte-predominant dermal infiltrate. Rare siderophages are | |||
present. | |||
There is mild basal nuclear enlargement. No significant nuclear atypia is apparent. The | |||
dermal-epidermal interface is well-demarcated. Rare basal mitotic activity is identified. | |||
