N2  - Lipoma is the most common benign mesenchymal soft tissue tumor. It consists of mature adipocytes, usually located in subcutaneus tissues and occurs more frequently in obese patients. Subcutaneous lipoma is usually found in the head and neck regions. Vulvar lipoma is extremely rare. A 72-year-old obese woman was admitted to our hospital with a painless vulvar mass. Physical examination revealed a single, soft, mobile mass in the right vulvar area that measured about 15 cm in its widest dimensions. The excised specimen measured 13 cm and had a yellow cut surface, surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. Vulvar lipoma has benign clinical course. If this lesion is untreated, it may grow large. To exclude the possibility of malignancy, surgical excision must be performed. This case is one of the biggest vulvar lipoma cases reported in the Anglophone medical literature
