Abstract

Vulval fibroadenoma is an uncommon, benign tumor that originates from ectopic breast tissue or mammary-like glands in the anogenital region. Only a limited number of cases have been documented in medical literature. Typically occurring in young and middle-aged women, this condition, when surgically removed, generally exhibits a favorable prognosis with a low recurrence rate. We report a case of vulvar fibroadenoma wherein the patient exhibited a groin region mass. The mass was then excised and examined histologically. Histological examination of the polypoidal tissue section unveiled a clearly defined lesion comprising both epithelial and stromal components.

Keywords: benign; ectopic fibroadenoma; glandular and epithelial neoplasms; neoplasm; vulva.
