title: Extremely large vulvar fibroma in a 15-year-old girl.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fibromas and fibromyomas belong to the most common solid vulvar tumors. Their cause remains unknown.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 15-year-old girl arrived at our department for extirpation of a large pendulous vulval fibroma. For three years she had observed a gradually enlarging structure protruding from her external genitals. After a preoperative CT examination the tumor was extirpated with a histological diagnosis of benign soft fibroma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our report describes a therapeutic management of a large vulval fibroma in a young girl. The extended time from first symptoms to final treatment deserves reflection.
