Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sebaceous gland hyperplasia is an epithelial tumour with sebaceous differentiation. Genital involvement is rare. In this paper, we report a new case of sebaceous gland hyperplasia of the vulva. CASE REPORT: A 27 year-old woman presented multiple polypoid lesions of the lower third of left labium majus. The lesions were soft to the touch, measured 5 cm in length and were painless. The cutaneous biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sebaceous gland hyperplasia of the vulva. Surgical excision was performed in two separate procedures and was successful. DISCUSSION: This case was unusual in terms of the site, the clinical appearance and the weeping seen due to the high concentration of hyperplasic sebaceous glands.Entities:
