This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a giant vulvar endometrioma, highlighting that definitive treatment requires local excision after histopathological confirmation of hemorrhagic endometrial stroma.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman who presented with a three-year history of a large vulvar mass. Physical examination revealed a 10 by 10 centimeter cystic lesion on the mons pubis, which was subsequently excised. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis as an endometrioma characterized by hemorrhagic endometrial stroma. The authors note that while extrapelvic endometriosis is rare in locations such as the vulva, it should remain in the differential diagnosis for such masses, with local excision serving as definitive treatment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically a rare presentation of vulvar endometrioma (endometrioma).
