A rare case of lipoleiomyoma of the vulva: Cytological and immunohistopathological study.

In clinical practice, smooth muscle tumors of the vulva are rarely encountered. The histopathological subtype and grading is of utmost importance to the clinician and the patient. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, radiological, cyto-histological examination, and recently by application of immunohistochemical (IHC) markers. Leiomyomas occasionally occur with unusual patterns, making their identification more challenging clinically, radiologically, and cyto-histologically. We encountered a case of lipoleiomyoma of the vulva in a 38-year-old female. To the author's knowledge, this unusual variant of smooth muscle tumor, that is, lipoleiomyoma of the vulvar region has not been mentioned in the literature so far. The detailed clinical, cytomorphological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical study was carried out, which has prompted us to report this case.
