RESUMEN
Los tumores vulvares son un desafío diagnóstico en la práctica clínica por las múltiples etiologías subyacentes. CASO CLÍNICO: Adolescente de 13 años que presentó dos nódulos vulvares de un mes de evolución, asociados a leve dolor. Ecografía preoperatoria sospecha un quiste de inclusión epidérmica, el que se confirmó con biopsia excisional.
Vulvar tumors are a diagnostic challenge in clinical practice due to the multiple underlying etiologies. CLINICAL CASE: A 13-year-old adolescent who presented two vulvar nodules of one month of evolution, associated with mild pain. Preoperative ultrasound suspected an epidermal inclusion cyst, which was confirmed with excisional biopsy.

The pathogenesis and origin of vulvar cyst lined by a ciliated columnar epithelium is unknown. But it is suggested that origins of the epithelium of cyst are Mullerian or Wolffian duct or urogenital sinus, while heterotopia (sequestration and migration of tissue) or dysontogenesis (defective embryonic development) or prosoplasia (abnormal development resulting in a "higher state" of organization) or metaplasia have also been suggested. We experienced one case of Mullerian cyst of vulva. So we report above the case with a brief review of literature.
