Giant acrochordon or fibroepithelial stromal polyps usually occur in middle aged women, and present more commonly in vagina than cervix or vulva. They are generally 2-5 mm in size and, large vulvo-vaginal acrochordons are rare and will require histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis. We are presenting a case of 8x5 cm giant vulval acrochordon.

An acrochordon is a small, soft, common, benign, usually pedunculated neoplasm that is found particularly in persons who are obese. It is usually skin colored or hyperpigmented, and it may appear as surface nodules or papillomas on healthy skin. Most acrochordons vary in size from 2-5 mm in diameter, although larger acrochordons up to 5 cm in diameter are sometimes evident. The most frequent lo...

Acrochordons commonly develop from skin on the neck and axillar region, but may be found on any region of body. Although some predisposing factors have been implicated, the definite etiology has yet to be determined. We report the case of a 46-year female patient who presented with a large mass lesion on the inner aspect of the thigh. She stated that the swelling had emerged some 20 years ago a...

Basal cell nevus syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, along with numerous other documented clinical features. Acrochordons (or skin tags) are common benign neoplasms that are appropriately left untreated in most patients. We describe two patients with known BCNS who were found to have multiple BCCs that clinically resembled acrochordons. Ou...
