Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Pediatric Dermatology

Background:

  • Vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis (VCP) is a rare, benign vulvar disorder.
  • VCP is predominantly reported in adult women.

Observation:

  • This case presents VCP in an 8-year-old girl.
  • The initial diagnostic concern was sexual abuse.

Findings:

  • VCP can mimic various vulvar conditions including lichen sclerosus, Paget's disease, pemphigus vulgaris, and infections.
  • Distinctive histopathologic features aid in VCP diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering VCP in pediatric vulvar lesions.
  • Emphasizes biopsy for accurate diagnosis and to rule out mimic conditions.
