A phyllodes tumour of the vulva is a rare, well-illustrated benign neoplasm having characteristic histomorphological features similar to a phyllodes tumour of the breast. We report a case of a primary benign phyllodes tumour in a 28-year-old female patient. She was seen in an outpatient clinic presenting with a slow-growing, non-painful lesion on her vulva. Examination revealed a 2 cm cyst located on the labia minora. Complete excision of the cyst was achieved, and pathological examination revealed a benign phyllodes tumour of the vulva. Hallmarks of this rare pathology are classically a leaf-like architectural configuration and fronds projecting into the cystic spaces on a low-power magnification. To date, a grading or classification of these vulva tumours has not been established due to their rarity. There have been very few reported cases of phyllodes tumours occurring on the vulva and fewer still affecting the labia minora. Continued surveillance for recurrence should be adopted.
