Abstract

Lipom en yaygın benign mezenkimal yumuşak doku tümörüdür. Matür adipositlerden oluşur, daha sık obez hastalarda subkutan dokuda görülür. Subkutan lipom genellikle baş boyun bölgesi yerleşimlidir. Vulvar lipom oldukça nadirdir.

72 yaşında obez kadın hasta vulvada ağrısız şişlik şikayeti ile başvurdu. Fizik muayenede sağ vulvada yaklaşık 15 cm çaplı tek, yumuşak, mobil kitle palpe edildi. Eksize edilen materyal 13 cm çaplı fibröz kapsülle örtülü matür yağ dokusu görünümündeydi. Mikroskobik inceleme sonucu lipom tanısı konuldu.

Vulvar lipom benign klinik gidiş gösterir. Tedavi edilmezse büyük boyuta ulaşabilir. Malignite olasılığını dışlamak için tedavi komplet cerrahi eksizyon olmalıdır. Bu olgu İngilizce literatürde rapor edilmiş en büyük vulvar lipomlardan biridir.

Key Words: Lipom; Vulva; Dev Lipom.

Abstract

Lipoma is the most common benign mesenchymal soft tissue tumor. It consists of mature adipocytes, usually located in subcutaneus tissues and occurs more frequently in obese patients. Subcutaneous lipoma is usually found in the head and neck regions. Vulvar lipoma is extremely rare. A 72-year-old obese woman was admitted to our hospital with a painless vulvar mass. Physical examination revealed a single, soft, mobile mass in the right vulvar area that measured about 15 cm in its widest dimensions. The excised specimen measured 13 cm and had a yellow cut surface, surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. Vulvar lipoma has benign clinical course. If this lesion is untreated, it may grow large. To exclude the possibility of malignancy, surgical excision must be performed. This case is one of the biggest vulvar lipoma cases reported in the Anglophone medical literature
