Giant Ulcerated Fibroepithelial Stromal Polyp of the Vulva: A Case Report

Abstract

Fibroepithelial stromal polyps (FEPs) are benign skin tumors or lesions of mesenchymal and ectodermal origin, also referred to as acrochordons. Herein, we report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a large ulcerated fibroepithelial stromal polyp extending from the right labium of the vulva. No known predisposing factor was recorded to justify the presence and rapid growth of the polyp. Antibiotic treatment was given due to inflammation, and magnetic resonance imaging was useful in establishing a diagnosis. A wide surgical excision was performed, and a histopathological examination confirmed the initial diagnosis, revealing no nuclear atypia or mitoses. The patient recovered well, and follow-up after one year showed no evidence of complications or recurrence.
