초록
Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) and lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) of the vulva are rare diseases that occur generally in young to middle-aged women. The pathogenesis of FEP is not clearly understood. Several previous cases have suggested that a hormonal influence may be a predisposing condition for developing FEP with or without chronic inflammation. A 68-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with a history of multiple raised lesions on the vulva with a 1-year duration. Additionally, a pedunculated mass had appeared 6 months earlier in the left lower labia minora. The patient underwent simple excision by electrocautery. The final pathological diagnosis was FEP with LC. In this case, the development of FEP was associated only with chronic inflammation induced by LC. Therefore, the case supports the hypothesis that a chronic inflammatory process may be related to the development of FEP even without hormonal influence.
