Benign Mesenchymal Tumor of the Vulva: A Case Report and Narrative Review of the Literature
Year: 2025
Type: review
Abstract: Acrochordons are benign skin neoplasms that originate from mesenchymal and ectodermal tissues. These lesions are commonly found in regions of the skin that experience friction or folding. This report presents a 48-year-old female patient who exhibited a 3 cm acrochordon located on the right labia majora of her vulva. A thorough review of her medical history did not reveal any identifiable risk factors that could account for the onset and rapid growth of the polyp. A wide surgical excision was conducted, and the subsequent histopathological examination confirmed a polypoid proliferation of the stroma, accompanied by a hypocellular stroma composed of spindle cells and loose collagenous stroma. At the six-month follow-up, the patient showed no signs of recurrence.
