Introduction:
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.
Presentation Of Case:
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.
Conclusion:
We present this case as the third largest FEP recorded in the available literature.

Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...
