Abstract
Anal neoplasms are frequently associated with human papillomavirus infection. However, the differential diagnosis should consider benign lesions that affect a small proportion of patients. We present the case of a previously healthy 30-year-old woman who presented to our clinic with the complaint of a foreign body sensation in the perianal region and a progressive increase in the volume of a palpable lesion. The patient underwent resection of the lesion and histopathological examination showed a benign giant fibroepithelial polyp.
