“…They likewise emphasized that vulvar lipomas should be differentiated from the much less common liposarcomas. In 2018, Reda and Gomaa [10] described a vulvar lipoma that was present for over 4 years and was causing discomfort when walking. They noted that surgical removal with complete excision of the capsule was the treatment of choice for lipomas to prevent recurrence.…”

Patient: Male, 25Final Diagnosis: Unilateral giant vulvar lipoma with fat necrosisSymptoms: Mild discomfortMedication: —Clinical Procedure: Surgical excision of the massSpecialty: Obstetrics and GynecologyObjective:Rare diseaseBackground:A subcutaneous lipoma is a benign tumor comprised of mature adipocytes. Clinically it presents as a soft, freely moveable, doughy mass that is typically painless and slow growing. Lipomas containing fat necrosis and corresponding palpable nodular elements are rare and suggest an alternative diagnosis. Lipomas in the vulvar region are rare and giant vulvar lipomas with palpable fat necrosis are unreported.Case Report:A 25-year-old patient presented with a 4-year history of an enlarging right vulvar mass with multiple small (<1 cm) firm nodules within the tumor. A pelvic MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) did not visualize the nodules but histopathologic examination revealed a benign lipoma containing fat necrosis and discrete areas of calcium deposition.Conclusions:Fat necrosis can occur in vulvar lipomas and present with intratumor nodularity. MRI imaging, clinical findings and histology may be discordant.

“…They commonly emerge between the ages of 40 and 60 [2]. Their occurrence in the vulva in premenopausal women is considered rare, and only a few cases of vulvar lipoma have been recorded in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Various pathologies can present as a swelling in the groin, and the definitive diagnosis of inguinal and scrotal lesions could be confusing for numerous physicians due to their comparable clinical presentations [10].…”

A 40-year-old woman presented with a huge right labial swelling that had been enlarging gradually for the last four years. A 10-cm labial swelling was revealed on clinical examination. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to rule out other possible diagnoses, such as hernias, vulvar cysts and tumours. When it came to assessing and diagnosing soft tissue swelling, MRI was the method of choice. It determined that the swelling had a bright T1 and T2 signal intensity similar to that of subcutaneous fat, with a decline in signal in fat-saturated sequences, indicating a diagnosis of vulvar lipoma. The mass was surgically excised, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a benign lipoma. Lipomas are considered the most common soft tissue tumours accounting for a prevalence of 1% in the population. Their occurrence in the vulva in premenopausal women is considered rare and only a few cases of vulvar lipomas have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a rare case of a patient with vulvar lipoma and review the available literature.
