    Abstract

    Fibroepithelial polyps are benign, easily treated, and tumors with a good prognosis in the urinary tract. Congenital fibroepithelial polyps of the external genitalia are rarely reported. We report a case of a congenital fibroepithelial polyp of the penoscrotal junction in an 18-month-old boy. The fibroepithelial polyp was noted at birth with continuous grow. The fibroepithelial polyp was soft, dark-red in color, non-tender, and had a cockscomb shape. We treated the fibroepithelial polyp with simple excision and the histopathologic finding was a fibroepithelial polyp without a malignant component.
