A case report of vulvar Liposarcoma

Vulvar liposarcoma is rare and there are only eleven cases reported since 1966. Primary sarcoma of the vulva constitutes 1-2% of all vulvar malignancies. Because of their locations and appearance, they may be easily mistaken as benign lesions. This is a report of a 65-year-old woman with a vulvar mass similar to a lipoma. The lesion, a soft tissue mass, was totally excised and was sent for pathologic study. The pathology report indicated a well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma. The clinicians should keep this diagnosis in mind in patients with a vulvar mass, since early diagnosis is imperative for a favorable prognosis.
