Giant vulvar lipoma. Case report

Vulvar lipomas (VL) are rare, benign tumors of mesenchymal origin. Less than one hundred observations of VL have been published in the literature. The authors describe a clinical observation of a giant VL and also provide a review of the literature on this pathology.

Bilateral vulvar lipomas in a premenopausal woman: A case report

Vulvar lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms that are usually well defined, small and painless. They closely resemble the pathology and presentation of lipomas at other sites. They are commonly found in young and middle-aged women but can also be diagnosed in infants. A case of bilateral vulvar lipomas in a 37-year-old woman is reported. The diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed via surgical excision and histopathology.

Vulvar lipoma: So giant and rare?

BackgroundLipomas are often small tumors and rarely reach a size larger than 2 cm. Vulvar lipoma is a rare tumor localization, and only a few cases have been reported. It is important to distinguish lipomas from other vulvar masses like liposarcomas, Nuck canal cyst, Bartholin’s cyst, and inguinal hernias.Case presentationWe report on a case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with a giant left vulvar mass and discuss the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results.ConclusionsMRI is useful in evaluating vulvar lipomas and differentiating them from other vulvar pathologies.

A CASE REPORT ON VULVAR LIPOMA

Lipoma is a benign tumor made of fat tissue. Usually seen in neck, upper back, shoulder, abdomen, buttock. Vulvar lipoma is said to be rare, only few cases have been reported. Usually it is seen between 40 – 60 years, only 2% population are affected with lipoma. Lipoma can be corelated in Ayurveda to Granthi based on its characteristic feature. Due to vitiated Vatadi dosha, Rakta, Meda, Mamsa there will be formation of nodular or glandular swelling which is round, hard in nature is called as Granthi. In this case report based on the content of the mass it can be corelated Medojagranti. Its pathology can be seen in two stages Pakva and Apakva avastha. In Apakva avastha, Shodana is the line of treatment. If it is predominant of Meda (fat) and excision- Chedana is line of treatment in Pakva avastha followed by Dahana karma. Objective: Management of vulvar lipoma. Materials and Methods: A 30 year old female complaining of mass in right vulvar region since 6months, was feeling discomfort while walking and sitting came to OPD of PTSR. Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheswara college of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan. On examination there was a mass measuring 6 x 3x 2cms, which was painless and without any discharge. The patient was advised for admission and was treated surgically by Chedana karma. HPE reports revealed lipomatous polyp. Result: Chedana karma- mass was excised surgically. Conclusion: Based on the content of lipoma it can be correlated to Medojagranti. It was in Vulvar region, large, causing discomfort to the patient so rather than managing with Shamana Aushadi, Shastra karma–Chedana was performed.

Vulvar Lipoma-A Rare Case Report

Lipomas are the most common benign tumor of soft tissues. Lipomas are usually soft, fluctuant, painless, subcutaneous lump measuring from 2-20cm diameter. However conventional lipomas have been reported, lipoma of vulva is a rare occurrence and very few cases have been reported in literature. We present a case of vulvar lipoma in 58 year old woman.

Deep-localized lipoma of the vulva

Lipomas are the most frequently seen benign tumors which are arising from mesenchymal tissue. They are found over the nape of the neck, upper back, shoulders, abdomen, buttocks and proximal portions of the extremities and they are soft on palpation, movable and painless. However, the presence of these tumors in the vulva is very rare and therefore a small number of vulvar lipoma cases have been reported in the literature. In this case, we presented a 35 years old patient who had committed to our clinic with the complaint of vulvar mass which is ongoing approximatetly for one year and has been growing in the last couple of months. Total excision of the mass was made and the mass which has the dimension of 13,5x 7,5x 3 cm is evaluated as lipom in the microscopic evaluation. This case reminds us that vulvar lipoma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the other vulvar masses and it underlines the importance of the surgical excision in the early period.

Vulvar lipoma: a case report

IntroductionVulvar lipoma is a rare tumor localization and only a few cases have been reported. The clinical characteristics of vulvar lipoma are well known. However, it is important to distinguish lipomas from liposarcomas. We report a case of vulvar lipoma and discuss its clinical features, including diagnostic aspects, with emphasis on histopathological evaluation of all excised lesions. We also report and discuss patient management and treatment outcomes.Case presentationWe report the case of a 27-year-old Moroccan woman. Our patient presented with a painless and slow-growing right vulvar mass that had evolved over one year, which had suddenly become uncomfortable when walking. A physical examination revealed a single soft and pasty mass in her left labium majus, which could be mobilized under her skin towards her mons pubis. The largest dimension of the mass measured 6cm. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a homogenous hyperintense mass with a well-defined contour in her left labium majus; a fat-suppressed magnetic resonance image demonstrated a marked signal intensity decrease. The mass was completely removed surgically. A histological examination revealed a circumscribed benign tumor composed of mature adipocytes, confirming the diagnosis of vulvar lipoma.ConclusionVulvar lipomas must be differentiated from liposarcomas, which demonstrate very similar clinical and imaging profiles. The final diagnosis should be based on histopathological evaluation. A precise diagnosis should allow for appropriate surgical treatment.

Giant vulvar pendulated lypoma in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma and inoperated giant ventral hernia

Abstract A case is presented of a operated giant pedunculated vulvar lipoma weighing 14 kg in a patient with concomitant inoperable giant ventral postoperative hernia, complete diastasis of the anterior abdominal wall musculature and endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Large vulvar lipoma coexisting with cervical cancer in a 66-year-old woman

Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumor, composed of mature adipocytes. Vulvar lipomas are rare, making its association with neoplasia even rarer. We present a case of vulvar lipoma in a 66-yearold woman coexisting with cervical cancer. When admitted, the major issue of this case was whether the vulvar tumor, is a benign or malignant one and whether it can be linked to the cervical neoplasia. <br/><a href=

A case report of vulvar lipoma

A lipoma is a benign tumor composed of adipose tissue and it is considered as the most common form of soft tissue tumor. Lipomas are soft on palpation, usually movable, and are generally painless. They are widely disseminated benign mesenchymal neoplasms commonly found over the nape of the neck and upper back, shoulders, abdomen, buttocks, and proximal portions of the extremities. Their occurrence in the vulva is said to be so rare that only a few cases have been reported. This case describes a patient; 47 years old who had admitted to our clinic with complaint of vulvar mass localized on labium majus approximately 1 year. Total excision of the mass was made and the pathological examination result was lipoma. Vulvar lipoma occurs in rare and should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of the other vulvar masses.

Large Vulvar Lipoma in an Adolescent

Lipomas of vulva have been reported only rarely. Benign tumors of the vulva are normally classified according to their origin as epithelial cell tumors (e.g., keratinocytic, adnexal and ectopic tumors), or mesenchymal cell tumors (e.g., vascular, fibrous, muscular, neural, adipose and melanocytic tumors). Vulvar lipomas need to be differentiated from liposarcomas, which are rare but are very similar to lipomas clinically. Here we present clinical images (Figures 1 &amp; 2) of a rare case of large vulvar lipoma in an adolescent girl that was published in an earlier issue of JMS. JMS 2012;15(1):82&#x0D; [Images shown here, actually belong to a case report by Mauryia, et al, published in an earlier issue of JMS (http://www.jmsskims.org/Contents/71-8.%20MAURYA.pdf) where the images got missed; the slip-up is regretted by the editors.]

Vulvar lipomas in children: an analysis of 7 cases

Purpose Vulvar lipomas are a type of rare benign soft tissue tumor. This study describes 7 cases of vulvar lipomas in children, and it evaluates the clinical characteristics of this disease. Method We performed a retrospective review of pediatric patients at our institution who were diagnosed with vulvar lipomas between January 1998 and December 2007. Results Seven girls who were between the ages of 7 and 11 years were included in the study. In 6 cases, the lipomas were located on the right side of the vulva. In 4 of those 6 cases, the lipomas were found on the right anterolateral side. Five cases had gross swelling of the vulva with a poorly demarcated mass, but 2 cases had a well-demarcated or pedunculated mass. The initial tentative diagnoses made before imaging studies were right inguinal hernia in 4 cases and Bartholin's cyst in 2 cases. Preoperative imaging studies of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed lipomatous characteristics of these tumors. All cases underwent surgical excision. Subsequent histopathologic examination demonstrated lipomas in each case. Conclusions Vulvar lipomas in children tend to occur on the right side, especially the right anterolateral side. It is necessary to differentiate this tumor from an inguinal hernia. Radiologic studies such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are useful for making the proper diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Large Vulvar Lipoma in an Adolescent: A Case Report

Lipomas are the most common benign tumors of soft tissues. However, conventional lipomas have been reported only rarely as presenting in the vulva. We present a case of vulvar lipoma in a 17-yr-old woman, possibly caused by chronic intermittent irritation.

Sonographic findings of a large vulvar lipoma

Lipomas of the vulva are rare benign tumors that consist of mature fat cells often interspersed with strands of fibrous connective tissue. They arise from the vulvar fatty pads and present as soft, multilobulated subcutaneous neoplasms. Histological examination reveals a thin capsule surrounding a lobular proliferation of lipocytes. Liposarcomas of the vulva have been described rarely. We present the sonographic findings of a large lipoma of the vulva, and demonstrate the contribution of topical application of a high-frequency transvaginal transducer in depicting lobular structural features, characteristic of this soft tissue tumor.

Tumeur adipeuse atypique de la vulve. À propos d’un cas

Liposarcoma of the vulva is a rare entity. This unusual localization with atypical clinical and histological appearance may induce diagnostic and treatment delay. We report the 13th case shown in the literature in a 31-year-old woman initially treated for a vulvar lipoma. Arguments based on clinical short term recurrence, histological infiltrating adipocytes, and cytogenentical findings evoked well-differentiated liposarcoma. Even though cytogenetic abnormalities, involving MDM2 and CDK4 genes, have been found, a certainty in malignity diagnosis could be difficult. In these cases, treatment decision may be uneasy. This case report recalls difficulties encountered in uterine hypercellular leiomyomas.
