In the last few decades, gynecological visits for vulvar conditions have increased, often for symptoms of vulvar itching and burning. Although benign vulvar tumors are an uncommon condition of the lower genital tract, it is important to consider these tumors in the differential diagnosis of vulvar complaints. To date, there is no accepted classification for benign tumors. However, these tumors can be differentiated by clinical criteria, such as benign cystic and solid tumors. Common benign tumors of the vulva include the Bartholin gland cyst or abscess, epidermoid inclusion cysts, and angiomas. Many benign vulvar tumors are asymptomatic and are found only on self-examination. Depending on the type of lesion, most do not require excisional treatment. It is important for the gynecologist to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions as malignant tumors require proper treatment.
在过去几十年中，妇科外阴疾病就诊率有所增加，常因外阴瘙痒和烧灼感等症状就诊。良性外阴肿瘤虽为少见的外阴生殖道疾病，但在鉴别外阴病变时需考虑这些肿瘤。目前，良性肿瘤尚无公认的分类。但这些肿瘤可通过临床标准来区分，如良性囊性和实性肿瘤。外阴常见的良性肿瘤包括巴氏腺囊肿或脓肿、表皮包涵囊肿和血管瘤。许多良性外阴肿瘤无症状，仅在自我检查时发现。根据病变类型，大多数无需手术切除。妇科医生区分良性和恶性病变很重要，因为恶性肿瘤需要适当的治疗。
