Fibro epithelial stromal polyps which are benign mesenchymal lesions that typically occur in skin, oral cavity, urinary tract and genital area pose diagnostic problems because of bizarre cytomorphology. Genital presentation has a greater predilection for the vulvovaginal region and rarely the cervix. Cases of fibro epithelial polyp in vulva have been rarely reported and usually they do not grow larger than 5 cm in diameter and are found incidentally during routine gynecologic exams. Diagnosis mainly based on histopathology has to be done to rule out malignancy and also to differentiate from other lesions like angiomyxoma which mimics fibro epithelial polyps. The case report presented is a rarest of its kind as regards to its size because the polyp in this patient measured 35x23x11 cm and weighing 10 kg which becomes the largest polyp reported ever. |
