Abstract:
A case of post-operative spindle cell nodule arising in the vulva of a 33-year old woman is reported and the relevant literature reviewed. This is an uncommon, benign lesion which develops soon after a surgical procedure and which is composed of mitotically active spindle cells, causing possible confusion with sarcoma. Knowledge of the clinical history and an awareness of the existence of such lesions is necessary in order to avoid misinterpretation.
