ABSTRACT
Fibroepithelial polyps are benign soft tissue tumors that occur in a wide variety of sites, including the lower female genital tract. They exhibit a wide range of morphologic appearances and can be misinterpreted as malignant. A 16-year-old woman presented with a 28x27 cm polypoid lesion localized on the right labium. The labial lesion was resected and recurred 6 years following the initial treatment. The histologic findings of the initial and recurrent lesions were consistent with fibroepithelial polyps. We present a case of a fibroepithelial polyp that is larger than any previously described lesion and recurred lesion with a brief review of the literature.
