Vulvar fibroadenoma: a common neoplasm in an uncommon site

World J Surg Oncol. 2009 Sep 28:7:70. doi: 10.1186/1477-7819-7-70.

Abstract

Vulvar fibroadenomas are sporadic lesions informed in the literature and a controversy about origin has been discussed widely. We report a case of a 19 years old woman with a large slow growing mass in the right labia majora with the final diagnosis of fibroadenoma with mammary tissue surrounding it and positive hormone receptors. In this case, we support the origin in ectopic mammary tissue.
