Deep-localized lipoma in the vulva

23556

Lipomas are the most frequently seen benign tumors which are arising from mesenchymal tissue. They are found over the nape of the neck, upper back, shoulders, abdomen, buttocks and proximal portions of the extremities and they are soft on palpation, movable and painless. However, the presence of these tumors in the vulva is very rare and therefore a small number of vulvar lipoma cases have been reported in the literature.In this case, we presented a 35 years old patient who had committed to our clinic with the complaint of vulvar mass which is ongoing approximatetly for one year and has been growing in the last couple of months. Total excision of the mass was made and the mass which has the dimension of 13,5x 7,5x 3 cm is evaluated as lipom in the microscopic evaluation. This case reminds us that vulvar lipoma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the other vulvar masses and it underlines the importance of the surgical excision in the early period.
