Abstract
BACKGROUND: First described in 1872, syringomas are common intraepidermal sweat gland tumors most often found in women during adolescence. Frequent involvement areas are the lower eyelids and malar areas; vulvar involvement is relatively rare. These lesions often appear as small, separate, yellowish papules of about 1-3 mm in size and are generally associated with increased vulvar discomfort and itching.They typically occur in multiples and are bilateral and symmetrical.
CASE: A 52-year-old, postmenopausal woman presented with vulvar pruritis and was diagnosed with syringomas after vulvar biopsy in our polyclinics.
CONCLUSION: Vulvar syringoma should be included in the differential diagnosisf or itchy and papular lesions of vulvae in a postmenopausal woman.
