Abstract:
Hirsutoid papillomas of vulvae present as smooth or filiform papules located on the inner surfaces of the labia minora. This disease is usually considered as anatomical variants of the vestibular mucosa. Differentiation from condyloma acuminata is important to avoid unnecessary treatment. Herein we report a case of hirsutoid papillomas of vulvae in a 21-year-old female who complained of pruritic papules on the vulva of one year's duration. Papules were located on the inner surfaces of the left labia minora and vestible of the vulva. Clinically, they were quite similar to condyloma acuminata. Histologically, however, the epithelium was devoid of features of human papillomavirus(HPV) infections such as koilocytosis, double nucleation, and dyskeratosis.
