Article Synopsis
- Epidermal cysts, which may form due to female genital mutilation or trauma, are benign tumors that can appear in the vulvar or clitoral areas, especially in different age groups, warranting distinct diagnostic considerations.
- A 54-year-old woman experienced urinary retention due to a large vulvar epidermal cyst, which was successfully excised, alleviating her symptoms and restoring normal appearance.
- Accurate diagnosis and management of vulvar epidermoid cysts require thorough clinical evaluation and imaging, as they can cause significant issues when large, and surgical excision is typically recommended for symptomatic cases.
