Rare encounter: Zoon's Vulvitis in clinical perspective.

Abstract

This case study presents the clinical journey of an elderly woman in her late 70s seeking medical attention for vulvar discomfort. Upon observing a red area on the vulvar region, initial management involved the use of clobetasol due to suspicion of lichen sclerosus, a condition linked to vulvar discomfort and erythematous patches.After 1 year, the patient reported symptom improvement, but a persistent red area on the labia minora prompted a biopsy. Surprisingly, the biopsy revealed Zoon's Vulvitis, a diagnosis not anticipated due to the unusual clinical presentation. This case underscores the significance of considering rare conditions, such as Zoon's Vulvitis, even in vulvar abnormalities with atypical features. Further research is warranted to enhance our understanding of the varied clinical presentations of Zoon's Vulvitis.
