Unlabelled: Non-obstetric vulvar hematoma is a rare but clinically important diagnosis in the emergency department for which there is no consensus on optimal diagnosis or management. We present a case of non-obstetric vulvar hematoma that occurred after minimal trauma in a young, otherwise healthy woman who presented with labial swelling after consensual digital penetration, initially managed conservatively but ultimately requiring surgical drainage. Although a rare presentation in the emergency department, prompt identification, diagnosis, and management of vulvar hematoma is crucial to appropriately treat complications including pain, hemodynamically significant hemorrhage, urinary obstruction, and soft tissue necrosis.

Topics: Vulvar hematoma, pelvic trauma, women's health, CT (computed tomography) angiography.
