ABSTRACT: Background: Fibroepithelial polyp in the vulva is a rare disease mainly seen in female
adolescents and young adults, and several reports were published in the past.
Some cases showed large polyps that might be misinterpreted as malignant tumors
such as aggressive angiomyxoma. Aim: We report a case of bilateral
fibroepithelial polyps in the labia minora in an adolescent age girl. Case Presentation: A 16-year-old girl was referred to our department for the treatment of an enlarged
skin-tag appearance lesion at the right sided labia minora. The lesion was
resected and the microscopic finding was a fibroepithelial polyp. One year after the first
operation the patient was again referred to our department for the treatment of
a skin-tag lesion at the left sided labia minora. It was again resected and the
pathological diagnosis was a fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusion: Fibroepithelial
polyp of the labia minora is not common and it is often seen in adolescent
girls and in young adults. Bilateral lesions and skin-tag appearance are
especially rare. The lesion should be excised for obtaining the correct
diagnosis.
