Case report of vulvar liposarcoma.
Vulvar liposarcoma is very rare with only 11 cases reported since 1966. Primary vulvar sarcomas constitute 1-2% of all vulvar malignancies. Vulvar liposarcoma may be misdiagnosed as benign lesions because of its location and appearance. The case presented in this paper is a 65-year-old-woman referred with a vulvar mass. The mass was clinically similar to lipoma. After total excision the pathologic report showed a well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma. Since a favorable prognosis in vulvar liposarcoma is dependent on the early diagnosis, all clinicians who face patients with vulvar mass should have this diagnosis in their minds.
