Abstract

Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rarely seen lesions of the lower female genital tract with polypoid proliferations of stroma. These tumors usually present in the vulvovaginal region of the reproductive aged women. In this presentation, we report a case of a psoriatic woman who developed unusual multiple polypoid lesions approximately 15 cm in size arising from both left and right labia minora and unique connection of FEPs with psoriasis disease.

Highlights

Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rarely seen lesions of the lower female genital tract with polypoid proliferations of stroma [1, 2]
We report a case of a psoriatic woman who developed unusual multiple polypoid lesions approximately 15 cm in size arising from both left and right labia minora and unique connection of FEPs with psoriasis disease
The typical clinical presentation of the disease is itchy, erythematous lesions covered with silvery scales on patients skin as a result of an increased epidermal cell turnover rate [6]. 29–40% of patients with psoriasis diseases have genital skin lesions accompanied by generalized erythematous papules [7, 8]

Summary

Introduction

Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rarely seen lesions of the lower female genital tract with polypoid proliferations of stroma [1, 2]. These tumors usually present in the vulvovaginal region of the reproductive aged women and tend to be polypoid or pedunculated in appearance and mostly found as solitary masses in the lower female genital tract. FEPs are found to be related to certain diseases such as Crohn’s disease and congenital lymphedema [4, 5] In this presentation, we report a case of a psoriatic woman who developed unusual multiple polypoid lesions approximately 15 cm in size arising from both left and right labia minora and unique connection of FEPs with psoriasis disease. Histopathological investigation confirmed the diagnosis of FEP
