Physical examination suggested a hymenal tag, a polypoid hymenal lesion secondary to maternal estrogen exposure that tends to resolve spontaneously in the first months of life, and thus excluded the initial need for complementary tests. As expected, the excrescence progressively disappeared during the first months of life [Fig. 2]. Full Text References References 1 Berenson A, Heger A, Andrews S. Appearance of the hymen in newborns.
