A fibroepithelial polyp is an inflammatory polyp commonly seen in the skin, vulva, and the neck of uterus, but fibroepithelial polyp is rarely seen in the head and neck region and respiratory tract. The etiology of fibroepithelial polyp seems to be related to chronic inflammatory process. Histopathologically fibroepithelial polyp is characterized with fibroinflammatory lesion with an edematous stroma.
