Uncommon Presentation: A Case Report on a Rare Vulvar Fibroadenoma

Vulval fibroadenoma is an uncommon, benign tumor that originates from ectopic breast tissue or mammary-like glands in the anogenital region. Only a limited number of cases have been documented in medical literature. Typically occurring in young and middle-aged women, this condition, when surgically removed, generally exhibits a favorable prognosis with a low recurrence rate. We report a case of vulvar fibroadenoma wherein the patient exhibited a groin region mass. The mass was then excised and examined histologically. Histological examination of the polypoidal tissue section unveiled a clearly defined lesion comprising both epithelial and stromal components.

Cutaneous Periumbilical Fibroadenomas: A Rare Case of Ectopic Breast Tissue

Ectopic breast tissue is the presence of retained breast tissue along the embryologic mammary ridge, also known as the milk line. Accessory tissue can be located anywhere along or outside the anatomic milk line extending from the axilla to the groin. Ectopic breast tissue can undergo the same physiologic and pathologic changes seen in normal breast tissue, such as fibroadenomas, fibrocystic changes, and malignancy. The wide range of clinical presentations and symptomatology can pose a significant diagnostic challenge, and clinicopathologic correlation is key in establishing the diagnosis. In this report, we review the clinical and histopathologic findings in a rare case of cutaneous periumbilical fibroadenomas in a 25-year-old female.
