  ABSTRACT: Background: Fibroepithelial polyp in the vulva is a rare disease mainly seen in female adolescents and young adults, and several reports were published in the past. Some cases showed large polyps that might be misinterpreted as malignant tumors such as aggressive angiomyxoma. Aim: We report a case of bilateral fibroepithelial polyps in the labia minora in an adolescent age girl. Case Presentation: A 16-year-old girl was referred to our department for the treatment of an enlarged skin-tag appearance lesion at the right sided labia minora. The lesion was resected and the microscopic finding was a fibroepithelial polyp. One year after the first operation the patient was again referred to our department for the treatment of a skin-tag lesion at the left sided labia minora. It was again resected and the pathological diagnosis was a fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusion: Fibroepithelial polyp of the labia minora is not common and it is often seen in adolescent girls and in young adults. Bilateral lesions and skin-tag appearance are especially rare. The lesion should be excised for obtaining the correct diagnosis.
