Abstract

Vulva tumors are neoplasms of the vulva that occur in small percentage (3%) of female genital cancers which can be benign or malignant or vulva cancer. Vulva neoplasms are divided into cystic or solid lesions and other mixed types. The most common benign tumors of the vulva are fibromas, papillomas, lipomas, angiomas, and others. A young woman, 25 years old, came to Bintang Amin Hospital OBGYN clinic, complaining of a huge mass in the front area of left labia major from one year before. She never had any examination before and felt the mass become larger and caused pain and obstacle in her daily activity. We found a huge pedunculated tumor, size 9 x 6 x 1.5 cm. After excision and pathological examination, we diagnosed the patient with benign neurofibroma and suggested follow up if another lesion or tumor occur.
