## TL;DR

A rare case of a recurring scrotal fibroepithelial polyp in an infant is reported, emphasizing the need for complete surgical removal to prevent regrowth.

## Contribution

The case highlights the effectiveness of electrocautery in reducing recurrence after surgical excision of infantile scrotal FEPs.

## Key findings

- Incomplete surgical removal of scrotal FEPs in infants leads to recurrence.
- Electrocautery as an adjunct reduces residual tissue and recurrence risk.
- Complete excision is essential for optimal long-term outcomes in such cases.

## Abstract

Scrotal fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) in infants are extremely rare and can be misdiagnosed as common skin conditions. Complete surgical excision is essential to prevent recurrence, as incomplete removal leads to regrowth. Adjunctive electrocautery is effective in eliminating residual polyp tissue, reducing recurrence risk, and ensuring optimal long‐term outcomes.
