Summary
A rare case of vulvar endometriosis in a 47-year-old woman presented as a periodic mass. Surgical excision and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, with the patient recovering well.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Endometriosis is a common benign disorder involving uterine lining tissue outside the uterus.
- Extrapelvic endometriosis, particularly involving the vulva, is an uncommon presentation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of vulvar endometriosis.
- To highlight the clinical presentation and management of this condition.
Main Methods:
- A case report of a 47-year-old woman with a vulvar mass.
- Surgical excision of the mass.
- Histopathological examination for diagnosis.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with a vulvar mass that periodically swelled with menstruation.
- Intraoperative cyst rupture released chocolate-colored fluid.
- Histopathology confirmed endometriosis.
- Complete surgical extirpation was achieved.
Conclusions:
- Vulvar endometriosis is a rare entity that can mimic other vulvar conditions.
- Surgical management is effective for symptomatic vulvar endometriosis.
- Prompt diagnosis and complete excision lead to favorable outcomes.

01:16Uterine Tubes
The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
