    Abstract

    Acrochordon commonly known as skin tag is a benign mesenchymal lesion which appears on keratinized surface of skin folds. Most of them are 2 to 5 mm in dimension. Females have a greater predilection for the vulvovaginal region as compared with the cervix. The diagnosis may be misunderstood as being malignant due to its clinical picture and hence, histopathology report may be necessary for confirmation. This case reports the rarest of its kind with regard to its size measuring 55 × 10 × 20 cm. Thus, it becomes the largest acrochordon reported till date.
