Abstract:
Although vulvar lesions are mostly malignant, polyps represent one of the most frequent benign tumors of the vulva, typically measuring less than 5 cm in size. Larger lesions are uncommon and are likely the result of mesenchymal cell growth in the hormonally responsive subepithelial stromal layer of the lower genital tract. Typically, vulvar polyps are asymptomatic in their initial stages, and patients often delay seeking medical attention due to sociocultural factors. In this report, we present a case of a giant vulvar polyp and examine the underlying etiology and symptoms of this condition, highlighting the life stages of women that are most frequently affected. Additionally, we emphasize the rare but potential occurrence of malignant forms.
