Symptomatic fibroepithelial polyp of the nipple in a pediatric patient

Skin tags are benign growths typically found on intertriginous areas of the body. The most common type of skin tag is the acrochordon, skin-colored papules with short, broad stalks. A rarer type of skin tag is the fibroepithelial polyp (FEP), which tend to be larger, with long, narrow stalks. We eva...
