OBJECTIVE: To report on a rare case of Pacinian neurofibroma of the vulva. METHODS: A 27-year-old patient who presented with a vulvar tumor is described. Patient evaluation showed no other remarkable findings. RESULTS: The nodule was resected without difficulty. The histopathological analysis-demonstrated Pacinian neurofibroma with abundant concentric laminar structures. The immunohistochemical (CD34+), ultrastructural and histological analyses showed perineural cells. No signs of neurofibromatosis were found. CONCLUSIONS: Pacinian neurofibroma may present in the vulva and could probably arise from the so-called perineural fibroblasts.
