“…As a rule they appear as soft, skincolored tumors, in most cases pedunculated, occasionally filiform. They are mostly lo cated, in varying numbers, in the axillar region, on the lateral neck and in the ingui nal region [1][2][3]. Due to their frequent occur rence and the fact that they normally do not cause any discomfort, they have attracted little attention in the past.…”

The relevant literature does not contain detailed numerical data about skin tags. We found 46% skin tag carriers in 750 unselected persons (25% males and 21% females). The risk of getting skin tags increases with age. The age of 50, however, seems to be a turning point, at which a stagnation of the increase is observed. The majority of the carriers had no more than 3 tags per localization; the most frequent localization was the axilla, followed by the neck. This study supplies objective data for the evaluation of skin tags as markers for colonic polyps and may provide standard values for future studies.

“…Because the etiology of PXE and cutis laxa is related to disorders of elastic tissue, one may theorize that FEPs are also caused by local abnormalities in elastic tissue. Old studies showed abnormal elastic tissue of in FEPs [1,8]. One recent study demonstrated that there were no significant abnormalities in elastic tissue in the FEPs [2].…”

“…Its etiology and pathogenesis are controversial. Previous theories have suggested that a localized paucity of elastic tissue may result in sessile or atrophic lesions [1]. However, a more recent study of elastic tissue in fibroepithelial polyps showed no significant abnormalities [2].…”

Objective: Skin tag (fibroepithelial polyp) is a benign skin lesion that is composed of a core of connective tissue and overlying epidermis with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. We conducted this study to demonstrate its relationship with elastic fiber abnormality. Methods:We retrieved thirty histopathological cases of fibroepithelial polyps at king khalid University hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the period from 2010 to 2012. The cases were stained with elastic van Gieson stain.Results: All the cases showed thinned dermal elastic fibers and twenty one revealed decrease in their count. Conclusion: Fibroepithelial polyps show abnormal and/or decreased elastic fibers.There were 12 females and 18 males. The lesions were located most commonly on neck (n: 11) and thigh (n: 7) (Table 1). By Hematoxylin and eosin (H/E) stain, the lesion composed of a core of connective tissue covered by papillated epidermal surface (Figure 1). There were 17 furrowed, 7 bag-like and 6 filiform types. Elasticvan Gieson stain showed moderate to marked thinning of elastic fibers (EF) in all the cases as compared to normal control skin. Twenty one cases revealed reduced number of EF (Figure 2(A & B)).
