    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis (TB) of the external genitalia is an uncommon condition.
    • Primary genital TB infections are particularly rare.
    • Chronic vulval ulcers often require thorough diagnostic investigation.

    Observation:

    • A case of chronic tuberculous ulceration of the vulva is presented.
    • The patient presented with persistent vulval ulceration.
    • Venereal transmission was suspected but not definitively proven.

    Findings:

    • Antituberculosis chemotherapy led to complete healing of the vulval ulcer.
    • Symptoms were rapidly relieved following treatment.
    • Histopathological examination (biopsy) is essential for diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of chronic genital ulcers.
    • Effective treatment options exist for vulval tuberculosis.
    • Biopsy remains a critical diagnostic tool for unexplained genital lesions.
