Unexpectedly large myoepithelioma-like tumor of the vulvar region with two local recurrences: A rare case report and review of the literature.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Myoepithelioma-like tumors of the vulvar region (MELTVR) are rare. Only a limited number of MELTVRs are reported in the literature, and various aspects of this lesion still need to be clarified. In this study, we reported a case of MELTVR in a 46-year-old female. The uniqueness of the present case was its large size (12 cm) compared to the MELTVRs reported in earlier studies, the presence of two separate but attached lesions (one in labia majora and one in the mons pubis), and two recurrences within ten years after wide local excision. The second recurrence was managed with wide excision, and the patient remained disease-free during the two-year follow-up. This case highlights the local aggressiveness of MELTVR and the necessity of resection with an adequate margin. It also urges more awareness regarding the differential diagnosis of MELTVR with other lesions of the vulva, particularly when located in the labia majora and mons pubis.
