Epidermal Cyst of the Clitoris Mimicking Cliteromegaly: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Öz: Epidermoid cyst can been seen in a variety of locations in the body, but it is rarely seen in the vulvar region, especially in those who do not have a history of genital mutilation. We hereby present a case of an epidermal cyst located in the clitoris for more than 10 years without any symptoms but recently suspected of growth by the patient who consulted a gynecologist. Local surgical removal of the mass is the best practice to be known although long-term effects of the reconstructive procedures in this area is yet to be unknown.
