LAU SERRANO, Dalgis; MILLAN VEGA, María Margarita e FAJARDO TORNES, Yarine Leonell. Solitary circumscribed neurofibroma of the vulva. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.3, pp. 400-405. ISSN 0138-600X.
Introduction: neurofibroma is a benign tumor that originates from cells of peripheral nerve sheath. It may occur as solitary or multiple lesions as part of Von Recklinghausen disease or neurofibromatosis. The solitary lesions are rare and usually they are not associated with systemic symptoms. Objective: case presentation and literature review in national and international literature. Patient: we report the case of a patient with a vulvar solitary tumor, treated surgically at the Department of Gynecology of "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y del Castillo" Hospital in Bayamo, Granma, in October 2011. Results: we proceeded to surgically remove the lesion by excisional surgery with enucleation of the tumor and resection of redundant skin. Conclusion: the histological diagnosis was consistent with neurofibroma.
