A Case of Vulvar Schwannoma Mimicking Epidermoid Cyst

Schwannoma is a generally benign tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath arising from Schwann cells. Most schwannomas are found on the head and neck. Here, we describe a rare case of benign vulvar schwannoma located at the labium majus which was similar to an epidermoid cyst in clinical appearance.
