Giant vulvar polyp in a postmenopausal woman: a rare clinical case
The increased frequency of precancerous lesions and malignant diseases of the vulva is a hallmark of the postmenopausal period. However, the development of fibroepithelial polyps, which are benign neoplasms, is also possible. The exact etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. These mesenchymal neoplasms are mostly diagnosed in women who received hormone replacement therapy or those who are of reproductive age, with pregnancy being a predisposing factor. We present a clinical case in which surgical treatment was the first choice, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
