Plasma cell vulvitis is a rare condition presenting as red, glistening patches on the vulva. This study details four cases, highlighting clinical and histological features and treatment responses.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Gynecology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis, or plasma cell vulvitis, is a distinct clinicopathological entity.
  • Understanding its presentation and histology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • Four cases of plasma cell vulvitis were analyzed, with varied patient demographics (premenopausal and postmenopausal).
  • Lesions presented as erythematous, glistening patches, primarily at the introitus, with symptoms including pruritus and dyspareunia.
  • Histological examination revealed epidermal changes and a dense band of plasma cells in the upper dermis.

Findings:

  • Plasma cell vulvitis can be associated with other vulvar conditions like cutaneous lupus erythematosus and desquamative vaginitis.
  • Treatment responses were variable, with some patients benefiting from local steroids, while one postmenopausal patient responded to local estrogen therapy.

Implications:

  • The term vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis effectively describes this idiopathic erosive vulvitis.
  • Recognizing the characteristic clinical and histological features aids in differentiating it from other vulvar dermatoses.
  • Further research may elucidate optimal treatment strategies for plasma cell vulvitis.
