Zoon's vulvitis, a rare vulvar inflammation, presents as shiny red lesions. Histology confirms chronic inflammation with plasma cells, as seen in two typical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Vulvitis chronica plasmacellularis, also known as Zoon's vulvitis, is a rare benign inflammatory condition affecting the vulvar mucosa.
  • This condition typically occurs in women aged 26 to 70 years.

Observation:

  • Clinical presentation includes shiny, macular, erythematous lesions with irregular shapes and sharply defined borders.
  • The lesions are localized to the vulvar mucosa.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination reveals a chronic, dense, subepithelial inflammatory infiltrate.
  • Plasma cells are the predominant cell type in the inflammatory infiltrate.

Implications:

  • Understanding the typical clinical and histopathological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis of Zoon's vulvitis.
