ABSTRACT: Background: Skin tags
(achrochordons, fibroepithelial polyps) are pedunculated lesions which commonly
occur in areas of skin fold such as the neck, the axillae, the eyelids. Case
Presentation: Herein a large achrochordon of the left labium majus is
presented. Total excision of the lesion was performed and histopathology
confirmed the diagnosis of achrochordon. Conclusion: Large skin tags on
genitourinary region can be confused with a malignancy. Excision of these types
of skin tags is recommended for pathological examination.
