Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumors of the genital tract female are extremely rare. We reported a case of solitary fibrous tumor originating in the vulva of a 37-year-old woman. The histological analysis revealed a conjunctiva tumourous proliferation, with variable cellularity, the morphology feature and the immunohistochemistry profile of which entailed us to infer on a solitary fibrous tumor. No recurrence was observed 16 months after surgery with flap reconstruction. Because of their possible pejorative evolution, it is very important to know these tumors. A long term follow-up must be advised.
