Vulvar Syringoma in a Postmenopausal Woman: A Case Report

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.
