A case of fibroepithelial polyp arising from the labium majus is described. The tumor measured 12 cm in its largest diameter and was connected to the left labium majus by a 12-cm pedicle. The microscopic examination showed hypocellular connective tissue and focal myxoid areas. One year following surgical excision, the patient did not manifest any signs of recurrence. This case is very unusual in that almost all reported vulvar fibroepithelial polyps are small and sessile.

Article Synopsis
- - Fibro-epithelial polyps (FEPs), commonly known as skin tags, are benign tumors mostly seen in women of reproductive age, though they can appear in the vulva and vary in size and shape.
- - A case study highlighted a 30-year-old woman who had a large, irregular FEP on her vulva measuring 25 cm, which developed over seven months and featured areas of skin ulceration, raising concern for malignancy.
- - After an excisional biopsy confirmed the mass as an inflamed FEP, the patient showed no recurrence at follow-up, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment to differentiate between benign and potentially malignant growths.

Vulval fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are a rare type of vulval fibroblastic tumour commonly found in premenopausal women. It is important to obtain an accurate pathological diagnosis because, despite being benign, the condition shares some characteristics with malignant vulva lesions in its differential diagnosis. We present a case of young woman in her 20s with a giant FEP.

- A case study detailed a 45-year-old woman with a large, ulcerated FEP on the vulva, which grew rapidly without any known risk factors.
- After treatment with antibiotics and MRI for diagnosis, the polyp was surgically removed, and pathology confirmed it was benign; the patient had a successful recovery with no complications or recurrence after a year.
