An unusual case of vulval lump: tumour of anogenital mammary-like glands.
We describe a 37-year-old woman who presented with a painless vulval lump of eight months duration. Excision biopsy revealed a benign lesion thought to be derived from mammary-like glands, which are well-documented in the anogenital region but under-recognized among genitourinary medicine practitioners. Our case highlights the importance of having a low threshold for biopsy of atypical vulval lesions.
