Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus (FeP) is a rare skin tumor with a clinical presentation similar to benign neoplasms such as acrochordons and seborrheic keratoses. Our study analyzed if there is an association between FeP and internal tumors, specifically gastrointestinal tract tumors. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with FeP for other tumors throughout their lives until 2020. Although the quality of documentation for each patient may have differed, this study suggests that the presence of FeP does not indicate the presence of gastrointestinal tract tumors, and there is no need for altered cancer screening recommendations for those with FeP.
