Vulvar leiomyomas are rare benign tumors originating from smooth muscle cells of the vulvar tissue. This report concerns a 31-year-old woman who presented with a painless vulvar mass measuring 5 × 4 cm. The mass was clinically diagnosed as a Bartholin cyst due to its non-tender and soft nature, and as a result the patient underwent wide local excision of the vulvar mass. Histopathology confirmed it to be benign vulvar leiomyoma. This case emphasizes the importance of thorough clinical evaluation and accurate histopathological examination in identifying vulvar masses. This report underscores the diagnostic difficulties associated with rare vulvar lesions and stresses the necessity of a comprehensive approach to their evaluation and treatment.
外阴平滑肌瘤是起源于外阴组织平滑肌细胞的罕见良性肿瘤。本报告涉及一名31岁女性,她出现了一个大小为5×4厘米的无痛性外阴肿物。由于该肿物无压痛且质地柔软,临床诊断为巴氏腺囊肿,因此患者接受了外阴肿物的广泛局部切除。组织病理学证实其为良性外阴平滑肌瘤。该病例强调了在识别外阴肿物时进行全面临床评估和准确组织病理学检查的重要性。本报告强调了与罕见外阴病变相关的诊断困难,并强调了对其进行评估和治疗时采用综合方法的必要性。
