Abstract

Skin tag is common benign lesion composed of loose fibrous tissue which present mainly on the neck and major flexures as small soft pedunculated papule. Recent study suggest that the presence of skin tag is associated with abnormal serum lipid profile. This study is to describethe serum lipid profile of patients with skin tag.This is descriptive study which was conducted from October to December 2017 at the Tumor and Dermatosurgery outpatient Department of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.A total of 36 patients with skin tag who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Demographic data, body mass index (BMI), and serum lipid profile including triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol were measured. Abnormal serum lipid profile (83.3%) and obesity (61.1%) were observed. The mean of LDL and total cholesterol levels of skin tag patients were shown to be elevated, but not in triglycerides and HDL levels. Abnormal serum lipid profile in patients with skin tag may associated with metabolic syndrome.
