Lipoma is the most common soft-tissue tumor of mesenchymal tissue origin although very rarely found in the vulva. The present study aims to present a very rare and big lipoma. In this case, the patient was 70 years old and was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of soft vulvar mass, 17 cm × 14 cm × 10 cm in size. The mass appeared about 7 years ago and was growing for the past 2 years and extended to the labium majus from the left inguinal region. The author performed a vulvar reconstruction with total excision of the mass. Pathological examination revealed a lipoma. Vulvar lipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vulvar masses, although lipomatous masses are rarely seen in vulva.

Article Synopsis
- Vulval leiomyomas are very rare benign tumors made of smooth muscle, often difficult to diagnose due to their unusual location and similarity to other vulval conditions.
- A case study highlighted a 40-year-old woman with a painless mass on her vulva, which was diagnosed as a vulval leiomyoma after being biopsied.
- The typical treatment for vulval leiomyomas is surgical excision, which usually resolves the issue effectively.

Lipomas are common benign adipose tissue tumors but are infrequently found in the labia majora, especially at a large size. We report a case of a giant lipoma of the labia majora in a 37-year-old woman diagnosed by imaging methods and successfully treated by surgery. This case highlights the importance of considering lipoma in the differential diagnosis of labial masses and underscores the role of imaging in diagnosis.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare and slow-growing tumor in the pelvic and perineal regions that might develop into other perineal structures. It can present variably, ranging from a painless mass to non-specific symptoms such as dyspareunia. Due to the high relapse rate, extensive tumoral resection is reasonably required to prevent recurrences.

Atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumors of the vulva are rare masses. We report a case of atypical spindle cell lipoma of the vulva and provide a succinct review of the current understanding of these benign masses. Specifically, this report describes a case of a 20-year-old nulligravid female who presented for evaluation of a labial mass that had been growing for one year.

Vulvar leiomyoma is rare and is often misdiagnosed as a cyst or abscess in the Bartholin's glands. Other causes of benign tumours of the vulva are Gartner's duct cysts, fibromas, fibroadenomas, lipomas and hamartomas. Adenoma was the tentative diagnosis is this case history, but the histology showed a benign leiomyoma.
