Fulltext PDFFibroepithelial polyps are benign tumors which are generally located in skin creases, they originated from ectodermally and mesenchymally and their sizes are no more than one two millimeters. Occasionally they may grow excessively and reach giant sizes; they are called fibroepithelial polyps when their size became more than 5 centimeters. Even though there are various hypothesis about the reason of over growing of fibroepithelial polyps, a clear mechanism cannot be revealed. Angiomyxoid tumors are benign, mesenchymal originated tumors that expand in their mesenchymal origin histology and demonstrate fibromyxoid stromal cell hyper proliferation with dense blood vessels. Our study is to present our case about giant fibroepithelial polyp and angiomyxoid tumor which is located in vulva. This is the only study in literature presenting those two tumors together. Even association of fibroepithelial polyp and angiomyxoid tumor is considered as coincidental; it is remarkable in terms of their hormone sensitive origin due to their location in vulva of a woman in reproductive period and grows at pregnancy period.
