Zoon vulvitis

Zoon vulvitis

Abstract Zoon vulvitis or vulvitis chronica plasmacellularis is a rare, chronic benign inflammation of the vulvar mucosa, diagnosed histologically, with variable therapeutic responses. It is important to be diagnosed because it mimics the presentation of other genital conditions, such as lichen planus and squamous cell carcinoma, which require specific treatment. We report a case of a female patient with three asymptomatic shallow ulcers on the labia minora. Laboratory tests ruled out infectious diseases and the biopsy was consistent with Zoon Vulvitis.
