PURPOSE Vulvar lipomas are a type of rare benign soft tissue tumor. This study describes 7 cases of vulvar lipomas in children, and it evaluates the clinical characteristics of this disease. METHOD We performed a retrospective review of pediatric patients at our institution who were diagnosed with vulvar lipomas between January 1998 and December 2007. RESULTS Seven girls who were between th...

Abstract Background Lipomas are often small tumors and rarely reach a size larger than 2 cm. Vulvar lipoma is rare tumor localization, only few cases have been reported. It important to distinguish lipomas from other vulvar masses like liposarcomas, Nuck canal cyst, Bartholin’s inguinal hernias. Case presentation We report on case of 43-year-old woman who presented with giant left mass discuss ...

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour that occurs almost exclusively in the vulvovaginal region of women but can also occur occasionally in the inguinoscrotal region of men. It is a well-circumscribed lesion that clinically is often thought to represent a Bartholin's gland cyst and usually does not form a pedunculated mass. To our knowledge, only five cases of vulvar ...

PURPOSE High-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) plays a role in the development of a subset of vulvar squamous cell carcinomas. Uncertainty exists about the true impact of HPV in this tumor type because conflicting reports have been published with diverging prevalence rates. This study was done to fine tune the role of high-risk HPV infection in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma development in relat...
