Fibromas arising from the external genitalia in women are by no means common. In a study of 5,000 gynecologic cases tabulated at the Michigan University Hospital, in 1905, Burr1 did not find a single case of vulvar fibroma. In 1917, Leonard2 was able to find records of only six such tumors among the 23,000 patients admitted to the gynecologic department of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
