- Fibroepithelial stromal polyps (FEPs), also known as acrochordons, are benign tumors that arise from skin tissue and can appear as lesions.

- After treatment with antibiotics and MRI for diagnosis, the polyp was surgically removed, and pathology confirmed it was benign; the patient had a successful recovery with no complications or recurrence after a year.
