HERNANDEZ MARTINEZ, Adela María; HERNANDEZ ALARCON, Ronald  and  FERNANDEZ SILVESTRE, Eva Clotilde. Vulvar fibroepithelial polyp: a case series. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2023, vol.69, n.3, 00018.  Epub Oct 16, 2023. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v69i2560.

Fibroepithelial polyps are common benign skin tumors in the general population. However, genital tract involvement is unusual. Their etiology is unclear, but associations with metabolic disorders and hormonal fluctuations have been described, which explains their higher prevalence in women. Due to the variety of differential diagnoses, histopathological evaluation is necessary. Their management is usually conservative. However, they may require surgical intervention in some cases. We present four cases of vulvar fibroepithelial tumors of different sizes, one of them classified as giant, as well as the management approach. With this presentation, we hope to improve knowledge, diagnostic accuracy and contribute to the effective treatment of patients with this rare vulvar pathology.

Keywords : Vulva; Neoplasm; benign; Skin neoplasia.
