“…The presenting clinical sign generally is a slow-growing perineal mass. Leiomyomas, fibroleiomyomas, fibromas, and fibroepithelial polyps (Brown et al, 2012) are the most common vaginal neoplasm in dogs and cats (Baker and Lumsden, 1999). Pyogranulomatous inflammation is present in this specimen from a vulvar mass.…”

“…The squamous epithelium ranges from normal to hyperplastic. Additionally, the stromal cells of a fibroepithelial polyp consistently seem to react to desmin, estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and sometimes to smooth muscle actin [16]. In our patient, the presence of a vascular pedicle in combination with the increased dimensions of the polypoid lesion led to the torsion of the vaginal tumor and the manifestation of vaginal bleeding.…”

Vaginal fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign tumors of the mucosa of the anterior vaginal wall. In extremely rare cases, they may originate from the posterior vaginal wall or be complicated by torsion. Our case concerns a 63-year-old patient who presented to the gynecology outpatient clinic of the General Hospital of Trikala with minor vaginal bleeding. On vaginal examination, a large pedunculated painless hemorrhagic polypoid mass was noticed, originating from the posterior vaginal wall. A torsion of the pedunculated vaginal tumor was suspected, leading to its surgical excision with clear resection margins. Due to extensive tissue necrosis, accurate histological identification of the vaginal neoplasm was not possible. Histological examination excluded vaginal malignancy. Based predominantly on the clinical and morphological features of the vaginal lesion, a diagnosis of vaginal fibroepithelial polyp with torsion was made, acknowledging its limitations. The patient was discharged from the clinic the same afternoon following the surgery. Three months later, no recurrence of the lesion in the vaginal wall was noted. Following the case presentation, this paper provides a brief literature review of this rare entity, focusing on the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

“…[3][4][5] The ureter is the most common site, but FEPs can also arise elsewhere in the body including the inferior turbinate of the nasal cavity, the bronchi, and the pharynx. 1,3,4 Prior to the present work, however, FEP had never been reported to arise from the orbit, particularly at the lateral canthus.…”

Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a benign tumor of mesodermal origin, composed of varying amounts of stroma covered by epithelium. The skin and the genitourinary tract are the most common sites of FEP. Uncommon locations of FEP include the inferior turbinate of the nasal cavity, bronchi, and the pharynx. To date, there has been no report of orbital FEP. The authors describe a patient with congenital orbital FEP arising from the lateral canthal area. This congenital FEP was completely excised successfully through an anterior orbitotomy without any complications, with no evidence of recurrence after 25 months.
