Acquired lymphoedema of the vulva is induced by impaired lymph flow. We present the case of a 35-year-old woman having lymphoedema of the vulva following pulmonary tuberculosis, which she had developed four years back for which she had taken a full course of antitubercular treatment for nine months from the Chest and Tuberculosis department. The biopsy taken from the perianal swellings showed hyperkeratosis and acanthosis with multiple dilated lymph specs.
