Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Dermatology
  • Vulvar Pathology
  • Inflammatory Dermatoses

Background:

  • Plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) is an uncommon inflammatory vulvovaginal dermatitis.
  • Literature on PCV is limited, necessitating a comprehensive review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize available literature on plasma cell vulvitis (PCV).
  • To present data on patient demographics, clinical presentation, histology, and treatment outcomes for PCV.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar.
  • Keywords included "plasma cell vulvitis," "Zoon vulvitis," and "vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis."
  • Data extracted included patient age, symptoms, histology, treatments, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Ninety-six cases of PCV were analyzed from 39 articles.
  • The mean age of diagnosis was 52.9 years; common symptoms were pruritus and vaginal discomfort.
  • Histology consistently showed subepithelial plasma cell infiltrate; 88.7% of patients achieved symptom resolution with treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) is a distinct entity with a generally favorable treatment response.
  • Further clinical research is essential to refine diagnostic criteria and evaluate treatment efficacy for PCV.
