The present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a lipoma.

“…Surgical removal, liposuction, laser therapy, and pharmacological injections are all considered therapeutic options for lipomas in general [3]. Complete surgical excision with the removal of capsules to prevent recurrence remains the treatment of choice for vulvar lipomas [4][5][6][7][8][9]13,14].…”

“…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.

Background. Vulvar lipomas are very rare pathologies: indeed, only few cases are reported in the literature. Case presentation. We reported clinical, diagnostic and therapeutical choices of a 44-year aged patient with a rare abnormally sized vulvar lipoma. A Diamond-shaped skin incision was performed and the neoformation was removed without capsule lesions. A vaginal plastic skin-reducing was performed to reduce redundant tissue. The deep planes of the lesion have been reconstructed to avoid leakage. Conclusions. This kind of lipomas can be potentially diagnosed through clinical examination because of their specific characteristics. However, imaging is advisable to differentiate benign neoplasm from malignant one. Different approaches can be achieved for lipomas based on the size of lump, patient's feelings and necessities and the operation goals; however, the complete surgical excision with the removal of capsules to prevent recurrence remains the treatment of choice for vulvar lipomas. Different surgical approaches aim to achieve better esthetical results, less scarring, and less colour discordance of the connected tissues post-surgery. Surgery is the gold standard for treatment of vulvar lesions. Currently, there is no evidence of long-term follow-up in the literature. We recommend an adequate counselling with the patient to understand their needs and encouraging them to seek medical advice and to tailor the treatment of such lesions.
