Biker's nodule, also known as ischial hygroma, is a rare condition described predominantly in male cyclists. Only a few cases of affected female cyclists or horse riders have been reported. This case presents a biker's nodule in a 57-year-old woman who was referred due to a progressively enlarging tumor on her right labia majora. Due to discomfort and pain, the patient opted for surgical excision. The histological examination showed the aforementioned diagnosis. Alongside the case report, a review of the literature on biker's nodules in the female population has been included. Physicians should be aware of this entity and inquire about the patient's physical activity as part of the medical history assessment.
