Abstract EN
Skin tags (Acrochordons, or fibroepithelial polyps) are very common skin lesions, and small benign tumors that form primarily in areas where the skin forms creases; such as neck, armpit and groin.
They are harmless and typically painless, and do not grow or change over time.
However, giant acrochordons are extremely rare.
We present a case of giant acrochordons in an obese man (BMI 34 Kg/m2) in the inguinal region for more than 5 years duration, who was treated with total excision of the mass with primary closure.
To the best of our knowledge, it is one of the few largest skin tags reported over the inguinal region.
