Zusammenfassung:Fibroepitheial polyps (FEP) are among the most common benign skin lesions and definitive histology is often needed to exclude malignancy. These polyps are usually less than 5cm in size and are often seen in genito-urinary sites including the perineum. A small number can reach a significant size. A 46-year-old female patient presented with a pedunculated mass measuring 18cm in diameter, localized to the left perineum. The lesion was excised and the histopathological diagnosis was fibroepithelial polyp. We present this case as the third largest FEP recorded in the available literature.
