Septic presentation of a giant fibroepithelial polyp of the vulva

Fibroepithelial stromal polyps are mesenchymal lesions occurring typically in reproductive age women with a predilection for the vulvo-vaginal region. Malignancy may mimic this polyp in morphology, rendering further investigations including detailed histopathology mandatory. Histologically its characteristic features are stellate and multinucleate stromal cells identified near the epithelial–stromal interface. This case report discusses incidental finding of largest fibroepithelial polyp presented in a 31-year-old nulliparous woman. She was initially admitted with sepsis and detailed physical examination revealed a right-sided infected pedunculated labial mass measuring 20x21 cm. After initial resuscitation for sepsis, she was further investigated for the mass. Transabdominal ultrasound was essentially normal apart from a small fibroid 3x2 cm in the anterior wall of the uterus. The vulval mass was removed under local and regional anaesthesia and was confirmed to be a giant fibroepithelial stromal polyp on histopathology. The woman recovered well and was followed up until 1 year.
