Abstract
The present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for
the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current
imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented
with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass
compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical
excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed
a lipoma.
