Abstract:

The patient, a 20-year-old nulligravida, presented with a progressive swelling on the right side of her vulva over the past three years. She also reported dull, aching pain, particularly during long walks. Upon examination, the patient appeared comfortable, and her vital signs were within normal limits. Genitourinary examination revealed a right vulvar mass, 12 cm by 7 cm, which was movable, soft in consistency, and non-tender. Subsequent inguinovulvar ultrasonography confirmed the presence of a compressible soft-tissue mass measuring 10 × 7 × 4 cm, consistent with a diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision resulted in a significant improvement in the patient's condition and she was discharged from hospital.
