[Lipoblastoma-like tumor of the vulva: A case report and review of the literature]

Abstract

Lipoblastoma-like tumor of the vulva (LBLTV) was first described as a benign mesenchymal neoplasia; it was not recognized as a separate diagnosis in the 2013 WHO classification of soft-tissue tumors. To date, only 19 cases have been reported. LBLTV differential diagnosis includes other tumors of the vulvoperineal region and tumors with adipocytic differentiation, most of which are benign and thus a misdiagnosis has few clinical consequences. However, LBLTV may also mimic some aggressive lipomatous neoplasms. We describe a case of LBLTV in a 28 year-old woman and review the literature.
