Cellular angiofibroma (CA)is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. In women, it occurs mainly in the vulvovaginal region, with vulvar location in 70% of the cases. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and similar to several other vulvar tumors of different cellular origins. Thus, its histological and immunohistochemical features allow distinction fromother tumors. Cellular angiofibromas have good prognosis, despite some risk of relapse. The authors present the case of a 49-year-old woman with a bulky right vulvar lesion, for which the preoperative diagnosis was a Bartholin cyst, but the histological and immunohistochemical evaluation yielded a CA.

The present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a lipoma.

Views124See moreExtramammary Paget's disease (EPD) is an uncommon neoplasic condition observed mostly in areas with numerous apocrine and or eccrine glands. In the woman it is most commonly seen on the vulva, although it can occur in other locations. Vulvar Paget's disease (VPD) can be classified into primary, of cutaneous origin, and secondary, of extracutaneous origin, with significant clinical e prognostic implications. Clinically VPD begins insidiously with pruritus and burning sensation. The lesion appears as a solitary patch with an eczematous, erythematous and squamous surface. This is a report of a case of a 72-year-old patient with an erythematous slightly thickened patch lesion with spots of erosion involving both the right and the left majus and minus labia, the clitoris, the pubic region, and the perineal and perianal regions. The operation performed included radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. The histopathology revealed invasive Paget's disease. Immunohistochemical methods showed positive Paget cells for CEA, EMA, and cytokeratin pan. Pathogenesis and diagnosis of EPD is discussed, with differential diagnosis and reference to immunohistochemical methods. Recurrence rate is 30%, even with margin control. Experience with EPD is limited and long-term follow-up is required to exclude recurrence of the disease and development of an associated cancer.

Views58See moreA vulvar fibroma, of the molluscum pendulum type, was present in a 20-year-old patient. The tumor began to develop slowly after her menarche, when she was 14 years of age. The physical examination revealed a mass with considerable volume, painless, located at the upper third of the greator left lip, elastic consistency, greater diameter at its distal portion measuring 12 cm by 23 cm in length. The treatment was exeresis from the base of the pedicle, under local anesthesia. The tumor weighed 950 g. A literature review is included.
