Article Synopsis
  • Mammary-type tissue in the vulva, first identified in 1872, is rarely documented and has historically been thought to be ectopic breast tissue from incomplete milk line regression, but new theories suggest it comes from normal vulvar glands.
  • This tissue is hormonally sensitive and can develop both benign conditions like fibroadenoma and malignant changes.
  • A case study of a 41-year-old woman revealed a cyst in the vulva, diagnosed as resembling a mammary fibroadenoma and highlighting the need for careful monitoring and excision due to the potential for malignancy and recurrence.

Article Synopsis
  • - Vulval fibroadenoma is a rare, benign tumor that forms from breast-like tissue in the genital area, with few documented cases in medical literature.
  • - It primarily affects young and middle-aged women and typically has a good prognosis with low chances of returning after surgical removal.
  • - In a reported case, a patient had a mass in the groin which was surgically excised, revealing a well-defined lesion made up of both epithelial and stromal (supporting) tissue components upon histological examination.
