Abstract
2 cases of bilateral hypertrophy of the labia minora are recorded. The patients presented with vulvar discomfort and redundant labia and reduction vulvoplasty was carried out. The resected specimens showed marked hyperplasia of the non-hair-bearing sebaceous glands, acanthosis, keratosis, and hyperpigmentation of the epithelium and a variable degree of neoangiogenesis and fibrosis in the upper dermis. No cause was established clinically or pathologically. The etiology and pathogenesis of this condition are briefly discussed.Entities:
