Abstract

In last few decades number of vulval lesions are increased. Patients came with complaints of itching, burning, or swelling. Although benign vulval masses are an uncommon condition of the lower genital tract, it is important to consider these tumors in the differential diagnosis of vulval complaints. Very few studies are done for benign vulval masses.
Aim: To study various vulval masses and their prevalence in patients operated in tertiary care center.
Materials and Methods: We conducted 5 years retrospective observational study of benign vulval masses in our hospital. Total 50 cases were operated which were included in the study.
Materials and Methods: Data collection was done from the Indoor patient department & Operation Theatre Register.
