Bilateral Giant Fibroepithelial Labial Mass: A Case Report

Abstract Background Fibro-epithelial polyps are benign soft tissue lesions that occur in a wide variety of sites, including the lower female genital tract. They exhibit a wide range of morphologic appearances and can be misinterpreted as malignant. These polyps therefore pose adiagnostic challenge to both the clinician and the pathologist. Case A 26-year-old woman presented with a bilateral labial mass; the mass on the right labium measured 32 × 29 cm and weighed 1.84 kg, and the mass on the left labium measured 10 × 8 cm in dimension and weighed 0.57 kg. They were polypoid lesions localized on the labia. The labial lesions were resected and sent for histology. The histologic findings were those of fibro-epithelial mass. The patient was followed up for 1 year without recurrence, and she is doing well. Conclusion Fibro-epithelial polyps usually pose a diagnostic dilemma to the physician and source of anxiety to the patient. A histologic diagnosis often necessary to confirm diagnosos and allay fear of malignant transformation of the mass.
