Author(s): Al-Maghrabi J.,Kanaan H.,& Bondagji N
FGM/C Type(s): III
Health area of focus: gynaecological.
Objective: To present a case of inclusion cyst of the vulva containing multiple stones following circumcision.
Study Population: 31-year-old nulligravida
Findings: On pelvic examination she was found to be circumcised,and there was an inclusion cyst in the midline at the site where the two labia majora were sutured together above the level of the introitus. The cyst was excised intact and sent for histopathologic evaluation. The gross histopathologic evaluation revealed a cystic structure measuring 4*3.8*3.5 cm and containing numerous stones that varied in size from 2 to 7 mm. The microscopic examination revealed an epidermal-type inclusion cyst that was lined with stratified squamous epithelium with no evidence of dysplastic changes. There were indentations in the epithelium caused by the pressure of the stones. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. A follow up visit after 1 year revealed no evidence of recurrence of the cyst.
