Atypical presentation of fibroepithelial polyp: a report of two cases

ABSTRACT Fibroepithelial polyps are benign non-epithelial tumors arising from mesodermal tissue and are commonly found on the skin. They can develop on the eyelid and surrounding area and rarely appear at other sites. While most cutaneous cases are diagnosed incidentally, the lesions may be symptomatic based on their location. The etiology of fibroepithelial polyps is not fully understood but may involve trauma, chronic irritation, allergic factors, and developmental or congenital causes. Although fibroepithelial polyps are benign lesions, they can be malignant in extremely rare cases. Herein we discuss 2 cases of fibroepithelial polyp with an atypical presentation and their treatment.摘要：纤维上皮息肉（fibroepithelial polyps）是起源于中胚层组织的良性非上皮性肿瘤，常见于皮肤。该病变亦可发生于眼睑及周围区域，其他部位则较为罕见。尽管多数皮肤病例为偶然确诊，但病变的症状表现与其所处位置相关。该病变的病因尚未完全阐明，可能与创伤、慢性刺激、过敏因素以及发育异常或先天性因素有关。尽管纤维上皮息肉属于良性病变，但极少数情况下可发生恶变。本文将探讨2例表现不典型的纤维上皮息肉病例及其治疗方案。
