title: Fibroma of the vulva.
abstract: We describe a patient with fibroma of the vulva. The tumor had areas of marked hypointensity consistent with fibrosis on T1 and T2 weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. The presence of abundant fibrous tissues on MR images enabled us to make a preoperative diagnosis of fibroma.
