Abstract
Fibroepithelial polyps are common cutaneous lesions with an unknown etiology. We attempted to demonstrate that fibroepithelial polyps develop secondary to a focal loss of elastic tissue. Forty-five fibroepithelial polyps were examined. All were stained with Verhoeff-van Gieson stain for elastic tissue and examined. All but one specimen had a normal amount of elastin and none revealed abnormally shaped elastic fibers. Abnormal or decreased elastic tissue is not the cause of fibroepithelial polyps.
