The Cyclist’s Nodule: A Rare Vulvar Entity

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a rare vulvar entity known as the Cyclist Nodule. A 30-year-old healthy woman presented with a lump on her vulva that had been present for a year. After undergoing an exam under anesthesia, the patient had the right vulvar mass excised. The surgical approach involved injecting lidocaine, making an incision, severing the stalk, and suturing the skin. Pathology revealed a benign fibroblastic and myofibroblastic proliferation, consistent with a cyclist nodule. The video emphasizes the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of perineal nodular lesions, especially as the prevalence of cycling among women increases. No specific credits were provided.
