TREJO-GUZMAN, Esthela Janet; MORALES-GONZALEZ, Patsy Alejandrina y TREVINO-SALINAS, Emilio Modesto. Benign phyllodes tumor of the vulva: Case Report. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.5, pp.330-333. Epub 20-Sep-2021. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v88i5.3696.
BACKGROUND:
Phyllodes tumor of the vulva is a rare, benign, proliferative lesion that shares similar characteristics with mammary tumors. It appears as a unilateral, non-painful mass located on the labia majora or majora, and on the posterior fork of the vulva. To date, 30 cases of phyllodes tumor have been reported worldwide. Due to its low incidence, the specific epidemiological and pathophysiological data of the disease have not been estimated.
CLINICAL CASE:
A 20-year-old patient, who came to the clinic for a vulvar mass of approximately 11 cm in the left, non-painful, rapidly growing lip. Treatment consisted of surgical resection. The presumptive diagnosis was vulvar fibroma. The pathology service reported: a 280 g mass, 12 x 7 x 6 cm, with irregular edges and shapes, multinodular, covered by skin with epidermis; Solid cutting surface with uneven edges, leafy appearance and soft consistency. The diagnosis of low-grade phyllodes (benign) tumor was established.
CONCLUSION:
The phyllodes tumor of the vulva is an exceptional alteration, so it is important to know its clinical manifestations, in addition to the macro and microscopic characteristics to establish the accurate diagnosis and treatment.
