Giant acrochordon or fibroepithelial stromal polyps usually occur in middle aged women, and present more commonly in vagina than cervix or vulva. They are generally 2-5 mm in size and, large vulvo-vaginal acrochordons are rare and will require histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis. We are presenting a case of 8x5 cm giant vulval acrochordon.

Angiomyofibroblastoma is a benign well-circumscribed tumor characterized by alternating hypocellular and hypercellular areas with abundant thin-walled blood vessels. The tumor cells are bland and spindle-shaped or epitheloid and tend to concentrate around the vessels or cluster in small nests. Herein, we report a case of angiomyofibroblastoma of the left labia major in a 50-year-old female. The...

Clinically, LCH ranges from self-healing lesions to a multisystem involvement with ...

BACKGROUND To understand how alterations in the molecular mechanisms underlying developmental processes generate a diversity of biological forms, comparative developmental biology can be combined with genetic analysis. The formation of the nematode vulva is one tractable system for such evolutionary developmental analysis, as much is understood about its development in Caenorhabditis elegans. I...
