Infection with Dracunculus medinensis of the vulva is rare. It was clinically misdiagnosed as a neoplastic growth. It was characterised by an oval, firm, mobile swelling in the middle of the left labia majora. The cut surface showed white-coloured, thread-like, coiled- up adult parasite embedded in the central portion of the growth. Histopathology showed transverse and obliquely cut sections of the adult parasite surrounded by a danse fibrocollagenous stroma, infiltrated by lymphocytes, plasma cells and a few eosinophils.
麦地那龙线虫感染外阴较为罕见。临床上曾被误诊为肿瘤性生长。其特征为左侧大阴唇中部有一个椭圆形、质地坚硬、可活动的肿胀物。切面可见白色、线状、盘绕的成虫寄生虫嵌入肿物中央部分。组织病理学显示成虫的横切面和斜切面，周围是纤维胶原性基质，有淋巴细胞、浆细胞和少量嗜酸性粒细胞浸润。
