Vulvar fibroadenomas are sporadic lesions informed in the literature and a controversy about origin has been discussed widely. We report a case of a 19 years old woman with a large slow growing mass in the right labia majora with the final diagnosis of fibroadenoma with mammary tissue surrounding it and positive hormone receptors. In this case, we support the origin in ectopic mammary tissue. Background Vulvar lesions in general are infrequent. Malignant neo-plasms represent no>5 % of gynecological cancers, are more frequent at advanced ages, the most common tumors are epithelial, and among these, epidermoid carci-noma comprises 80 % [1]. Mesenchymal neoplasms are even less frequent [2]; vulvar fibroadenoma is one of the mammary-like fibroepithelial lesions of uncertain his-togenesis, and is extremely rare [2-7]. These lesions have
