Background. Syringoma is a benign eccrine sweat gland tumor, characterized by multiple skin colored or slightly yellowish papules. Vulvar syringoma without extragenital involvement is an extremely rare variant of syringoma. Mail Observations. Herein, we report a 40-year-old diabetic female patient who presented with only lichenified plaques on the vulvar region without any extragenital lesions. Diagnosis of vulvar syringoma was made depending on the characteristic double lined cystic enlargements and comma-like tails found in histopathological examination. Immunohistochemical stains for estrogen and progesterone receptors were negative. Conclusion. Vulvar syringoma may present with no obvious papules on lichenified plaques.
背景。汗管瘤是一种良性小汗腺肿瘤,其特征为多个肤色或略带黄色的丘疹。无生殖器外累及的外阴汗管瘤是汗管瘤的一种极其罕见的变异型。病例观察。在此,我们报告一名40岁的糖尿病女性患者,其外阴区域仅出现苔藓化斑块,无任何生殖器外病变。根据组织病理学检查中发现的特征性双层囊性扩大和逗号样尾巴做出外阴汗管瘤的诊断。雌激素和孕激素受体的免疫组化染色均为阴性。结论。外阴汗管瘤可能在苔藓化斑块上无明显丘疹表现。
