A giant fibro epithelial polyp of the vulva: A case report.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE

Fibroepithelial polyps are benign growths that can occur in various anatomical locations, including the vulva. They typically present as asymptomatic skin tags that progressively increase in size.

CASE PRESENTATION

We report the case of a 30-year-old woman, para 3, who presented with a giant fibroepithelial polyp originating from the right labium majora. The mass, which developed over three years, measured 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm, with a long stalk extending 20 cm. The patient reported no associated pain or discharge and had no significant medical history. Clinical evaluation revealed a firm, pedunculated mass without regional lymphadenopathy. Investigations, including HIV testing and cytology, confirmed the benign nature of the lesion.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

Fibro epithelial polyps may mimic malignancy. Hence histopathological examination is essential. Surgical resection remains the standard treatment, and careful follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence, particularly in cases with incomplete resection or ongoing hormonal exposure.

CONCLUSION

This case highlights the importance of recognizing fibroepithelial polyps as potential causes of vulvar masses.
