Vulvar hamartoma, Hamartoma in pregnancyAbstract
Hamartoma is a benign lesion composed of various native tissues, but growing in a disorganized manner. It is not considered to be a malignant growth. It may be a diagnostic dilemma and challenge treatment options during pregnancy. We present the case of a rare vulvar hamartoma in a young pregnant woman.
