Abstract:
Fibroepithelial polyp is a very rare tumor mostly arising at the urogenitalia. Norris and Taylor firstly reported 12 cases of fibroepithelial polyp in 19661 and until recently under 100 cases were reported in literature. A 11-year-old girl complainted the painless bulging mass at the left labium major. The bulging tumor was measured 5x3 cm in diameter. The margin of the mass was not demarcated ever from the skin and underlying dermis and the mass was not clearly differentiated from surrounding tissues grossly but could be delineated by palpation. The mass was excised by palpation under the general anesthesia. In microscopic finding it was primarily composed of stromal portion containing fibroblast-like stromal cells, with bundles of collagen, skin appendages, and small numbers of blood vessels. We report a case of fibroepithelial polyp of the vulva in a 11-year-old female with a brief review of the literature.
