Benign vulvar tumors.
Benign tumors of the vulva, although relatively uncommon, are often referred to dermatologists for evaluation and treatment. The clinical features of benign tumors may overlap with malignant neoplasms, and therefore, a biopsy is often necessary to make a definitive diagnosis. This article discusses benign tumors of the vulva that are not associated with infectious agents and presents their classification according to cell of origin.
