Abstract:
Vulvar involvement by endometriosis is extremely rare. A patient presented with a vulvar tumor and was diagnosed on needle aspiration biopsy and subsequently on histopathology as having endometriosis of the vulva. The treatment offered was conservative, local excision of the tumor. The patient was well and free of complaints when last seen in the Outpatient Department, at six months of follow-up. Needle aspiration biopsy as a diagnostic tool in vulvar tumors and the histogenesis of the endometriosis are discussed.
