Syringomas commonly occur in women over the face, neck, and chest. They are usually asymptomatic and mainly of cosmetic concern. The vulva is an uncommon site for syringomas. A 45-year-old woman had asymptomatic lesions over the face, of 28 years duration and presented with vulvar papules, associated with severe pruritus for the past 2 months. Clinical and histopathological examination confirmed them to be syringomas. Coexistent facial and vulvar syringomas are rare. Further, vulvar syringomas presenting as pruritus vulvae is still rarer. We report a case with severe pruritus vulvae causing sufficient distress to seek medical care, which is remarkably unusual.
汗管瘤常见于女性的面部、颈部和胸部。它们通常无症状,主要是出于美容方面的考虑。外阴是汗管瘤不常见的发病部位。一名45岁女性面部有无症状皮损,病程28年,现出现外阴丘疹,在过去2个月伴有严重瘙痒。临床和组织病理学检查证实为汗管瘤。面部和外阴同时存在汗管瘤较为罕见。此外,以外阴瘙痒为表现的外阴汗管瘤更为罕见。我们报告一例因严重外阴瘙痒而就医的病例,这非常不寻常。
