Summary
Pendulating fibromas are soft pedunculated processes usually treated by electrocautery shave-excision. Often no histopathological examination is done thus different clinical-pathologic entities might be hidden under the clinical picture of pendulating fibroma. We histologically examined 100 polypoid pendulating lesions clinically diagnosed as soft pendulating fibroma. 45 cases (45%) represented intradermal melanocytic nevi, 32 cases (32%) were fibroepithelial polyps, 13 cases (13%) capillary hemangiomas, 5 cases (5%) seborrhiecfibromas, 3 cases (3%) lipomas/fibrolipomas and 2 cases (2%) represented seborrheic keratoses. 38 (84.4%) of intradermal melanocytic nevi were not totally removed, part of the nevus base remained in the skin after superficial electrocautery shave-excision. Authors discuss the safety/risk of incomplete excision of pendulating intradermal nevi by electrocautery and necessity to perform deeper shave excision to remove the basal part of the lesions.
Key words:
pendulating polypoid lesions – intradermal melanocytic nevi – fibroepithelial polyps –
electrocautery – shave-excision
