Vulvar Hibernoma: An Unusual Lipomatous Tumor in an Adolescent - 30/04/21
Abstract |
Background |
Lipomatous tumors of the vulva are exceedingly rare, particularly in adolescents. We describe the work-up and management of an adolescent girl who presented with a large, well-vascularized vulvar mass.
Case |
A 14-year-old girl presented with a large vulvar mass of unclear etiology. Magnetic resonance imaging of this mass revealed an ill-defined, well-vascularized mass with fat signal characteristics suggestive of a lipomatous tumor that was concerning for malignancy. We performed complete resection of the mass, and histologic evaluation revealed a vulvar hibernoma. There have been no signs of recurrence 1 year later.
Summary and Conclusion |
Although rare, a hibernoma of the vulvar region may present in adolescence and may be concerning for malignancy on imaging. Complete resection of these tumors is recommended for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
