The study at a glance
Case report
- Unusual vulvar mass
- Diagnosis confirmed by pathology
Research question
The case report describes the assessment and surgical management of an unusually large vulvar lipoma.
Study approach
A soft vulvar mass measuring 17 × 14 × 10 cm was assessed. Complete excision and vulvar reconstruction were performed.
Key findings
Pathological examination confirmed a lipoma. The paper highlights lipoma as a possible differential diagnosis for vulvar masses.
Interpreting the results
The report concerns one patient. It does not suggest that every vulvar mass is a lipoma or requires this operation.

Reader perspective
A case report helps explain diagnostic reasoning. Rather than matching a newly noticed mass to this case yourself, discuss which questions, examinations and follow-up plans are relevant with your doctor.
