ABSTRACT
Tumours of the vulva are rare. Soft fibroma is the most common benign tumour of
the genital area. It frequently occurs in women of reproductive age and is most
commonly seen on the face, neck, or axilla. Soft tissue fibroma is rarely found
in genital areas such as the vulva. It is usually asymptomatic but can have a
physiological and psychological impact once the child grows up. We report a case
of large pedunculated fibroma located in the labia majora of a 3-year-old girl
due to its rarity, size, imaging challenges, and management. Excision of the
tumour was done and histopathological examination confirmed it to be a soft
fibroma.
Keywords: Fibrous tissue; Tumours of the vulva; Soft fibroma.
