“…There are a few reported cases of large fibroepithelial stromal polyps of the vulva, as seen in our case. 7,8,10 FEPs of the vulva are thought to arise from a regressing nevus. Frequent irritation seems to be another important etiologic factor of these skin tags, especially in obese patients, as our patient.…”

148esenchymal tumours of the vulvovaginal region range from benign to locally aggressive and malignant tumors. Benign tumors of the vulva are relatively uncommon, constituting a large spectrum of tumors such as angiofibroma, angiomyofibroblastoma, lymphangioma and schwannoma.1-3 Fibroepithelial polyp (acrochordon, fibrolipoma, soft fibroma) is a benign neoplastic/hamartomatous polypoid mass of vulva. 4Although it is a common cutaneous lesion which has a propensity for axilla, neck, groin, eyelids and chest, is relatively uncommon in female genital tract. [4][5][6] When seen in the female genital tract, it is usually seen in vagina.Giant Fibroepithelial Polyp of Vulva: Scientific Letter A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a flesh-colored pedunculated skin tag which has a predilection for axilla, neck, groin, eyelids and beneath breasts. This benign mesenchymal skin lesion is relatively uncommon in female genital tract. When observed in the female genital tract, it usually presents in vagina. Large vulvar cases are very rare. We present a 39 year old female patient who presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic with a slowly and continuously growing vulvar swelling. Physical examination revealed a pedunculated mass on the surface of right labium majoris which had a diameter of approximately 6 cm. The patient did not have any polypoid skin lesions at any other body region. She was referred to the gynaecology outpatient clinic. The mass was excised under general anesthesia and histopathologic examination was performed yielding the diagnosis of FEP. We present this rare case with its uncommon size and location with review of the literature.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Neoplasms, fibroepithelial; vulva Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Fibroepitelyal polip (FEP), aksilla, boyun, bacak arası, gözkapağı ve memelerin alt kısmında görülme eğiliminde olan, ten renginde, pedünküle bir deri ekidir. Bu benign, mezenkimal deri lezyonu, kadın genital traktında göreceli olarak seyrek gözlenir. Kadın genital traktında izlendiğinde, genellikle vajinada bulunur. Büyük boyutlu vulvar olgular çok nadirdir. Dermatoloji polikliniğine vulvada yavaş ve sürekli büyüyen şişlik ile başvuran 39 yaşında bir kadın hastayı sunmaktayız. Fizik muayenede sağ labium majoris yüzeyinde yerleşmiş, yaklaşık 6 cm çapında bir pedinküle kitle izlendi. Hastanın vücudunda başka bir polipoid deri lezyonu izlenmedi. Hasta, jinekoloji polikliniğine yönlendirildi. Genel anestezi altında eksize edilen kitle, histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda FEP tanısını aldı. Sık görülmeyen boyut ve yerleşim yeri ile nadir olan bu olguyu literatür incelemesi ile birlikte sunmaktayız.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Neoplaziler, fibroepitelyal; vulva T Tu ur rk ki iy ye e K Kl li in ni ik kl le er ri i J J D De er rm ma at to ol l 2 20 01 16 6; ;2 26 6( (3 3) ): :1 14 48 8--5 51 1

“…fibromas are connective-tissue benign tumors that have multiple synonyms (naevus molluscum, acrochordon, templeton skin tag, and fibroepithelial polyp) [2]. Fibro epithelial polyps are a type of mesenchymal lesion that typically occurs in women of reproductive age [3]. These polyps are site-specific and have a predilection for the vulvovaginal region.…”

“…These lesions are generally present in the intertriginous areas such as the neck, axillae, and vulvovaginal locations and may be found on the trunk, upper extremities, face, and eyelids (1)(2)(3)(4). The occurrence of soft fibroma in the nipple is extremely rare, and only a few cases of soft fibroma arising from the nipple haves been reported (5-7).…”
