Desmoid tumor of the vulva. A case report.
BACKGROUND
Extraabdominal desmoid tumors are very rare; primary vulvar desmoid tumors are even rarer.


METHODS
A desmoid tumor involving the right labium majus, extending upward along the vaginal wall, was excised completely.


CONCLUSIONS
These rare tumors, which may enlarge rapidly during pregnancy, are difficult to diagnose before surgery.
