Abstract

We describe a case of perineal schwannoma (neurilemmoma) that resembled a skin tag. The structure was composed of a 1.5 cm x 1.4 cm x 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.
