We describe a case of perineal schwannoma (neurilemmoma) that resembled a skin tag. The structure was composed of a 1.5 cm × 1.4 cm × 1 cm sized mass and a movable stalk. After excision of the mass from the stalky root with scissors, H & E staining of the specimen revealed an encapsulated intradermal mass composed of Antoni‐A type and Antoni‐B type tissue.
