Large Vulvar Lipoma in an Adolescent: A Case Report

Abstract: Lipomas are the most common benign tumors of soft tissues. However, conventional lipomas have been reported only rarely as presenting in the vulva. We present a case of vulvar lipoma in a 17-yr-old woman, possibly caused by chronic intermittent irritation.

“…Lipomların oluşumundaki temel etyopatogenez net olarak bilinmemesine rağmen, kalıtımın ya da irritasyon nedeniyle lipositlerde proliferasyona yol açabilecek enfeksiyon, cerrahi ya da travmanın oluşumda rol oynayabileceği varsayılmaktadır [5]. Vulvar lipomlar nadir görülür, çoğunlukla labium majus ve klitoriste yerleşim gösterir ve 40-60 yaşlarda ortaya çıkarlar [1,3]. Literatürde travma sonucu 17 yaşında adölesanda ya da infantil dönemde gelişen vulvar lipom vakaları da bildirilmiştir [3,6].…”

“…Lipomlar mezenkimal hücrelerden köken alan ve en sık görülen benign yumuşak doku tümörleri olmalarına rağmen vulvada nadir görülürler. Genellikle subkutan yerleşim gösteren lipomlar, sıklıkla sırtın üst yarısında, boyunda, omuzlarda, karın, kalça ve ekstremitelerin proksimalinde görülürler [2,3]. Vulvada lipom görülmesi her ne kadar nadir olsa da, literatürde bildirilmiş vakalar bulunmaktadır.…”

“…But at least focal nuclear atypia in both adipocytes and stromal cells provide the differentiation of these neoplasms from ordinary lipomas (4,8). The treatment of the vulvar lipoma is surgical excision or liposuction (3,7). In large extensive lipomas, liposuction may be a less invasive method, however, leaving the fibrous capsule behind may cause recurrence DISCUSSION and histopathological examination may not be possible (3,8).…”
