title: Pedunculated proliferative papillomatosis.
abstract: Skin tags (soft fibromas) are benign connective tissue neoplasms of the dermis. As a rule they occur as soft, skin-colored, filiform, often pedunculated growths in intertriginous areas. The classification and naming of these lesions is somewhat arbitrary due to their banal clinical and histological spectrum of characteristics. We report an unusual case of a peculiar proliferation of dermal and epidermal components that clinically and histologically appears to fit into this category of soft fibroma.
