Abstract:
We rep a case of vulvar syringoma in a 32-year-old woman who had pruritus vulvae for 2 years. An examination of both the labia major revealed slightly thickened hyperpigmented or hypopigmented patches without yellow papules. A skin punch biopsy revealed characteristic histological findings of syringoma. Syringoma of the vulva is a rare disorder and is usually asymptomatic. Five cases of vulvar syringoma preriously reported in the Korean literature all had asymptomatic yellow or brown colored papules, but this case presented here was clinically considered as pruritus vulvae.
