Massive epidermal vulval cyst: an unusual late complication of female genital mutilation.

Vulval epidermal cysts are rare and infrequently described in literature. They present a difficult diagnostic dilemma and surgical challenges. They most commonly occur as a late complication of female genital mutilation (FGM) and manifest as a primary condition. We present a case of a large vulval epidermal inclusion cyst, lined by vulval squamous epithelium, in a woman with a background of FGM who was referred with suspected vulval cancer. We discuss the clinical presentation, MRI findings, surgical treatment and outcome. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017. All rights reserved.
