Objective: Describe a case of clitoromegaly in a perimenopausal female. Setting: Third Level Attention Center. Interventions: Magnetic resonance imaging, pelvic ultrasound, tumoral markers, clitoroplasty with surgical extirpation of epidermal cyst. Results: Clitoroplasty with surgical extirpation of epidermal cyst and preservation of the anatomy and sensitivity. Conclusions: A 52 years old female patient without history of pelvic trauma who developed an unusual case of clitoromegaly without pain nor any symptoms besides notorius tumor growing over past four years in which malignancy was discarded. There are very few epidermal cyst cases in the absence of trauma or genitalia mutilation reported in literature; they are usually solitary tumors, with slow growing and asymptomatic. Usually localized in clitoral scalp, neck or trunk. The performed procedure was a clitoroplasty with extirpation of an epidermal cyst, where has been well preserved the anatomy and sensitivity, without any complication after six months follow up.
