Introduction: Non-obstetric vulvar hematomas are rare emergencies and there are no guidelines with defined recommendations for the treatment. They constitute up to 0.8% of all gynecological admissions and occur as a result of perineal trauma when compression of soft vulvar tissues against the osseous planes causes damage to the vulvar vascular complex.
Case Report: We present a case of a non-obstetric vulvar hematoma in a 19-year-old woman resulting from the blunt trauma of the vulvar region.
Conclusion: Our experience suggests that surgical intervention, in the setting of an expanding vulvar hematoma, reduces length of hospital stay and minimizes associated morbidity.
Keywords: Drainage, Evacuation, Surgical approach, Trauma, Vulvar hematoma
