Abstract EN

Vulvar Liposarcoma is very rare and there are only eleven cases have been reported since 1966.

primary vulvar sarcomas constitue 1-2 % of all vulvar misdiagnosed.

Vulvar Liposarcoma may be misdiagnosed as benign lesions because of its location and appearance.

This case 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 selerosing liposarcoma.

Since a favourable prognosis in vulvar liposarcoma is dependent on the early diagnosis, all clinicians should have this diagnosis in mind with any vulvar mass.
