Vulvar BCC accounts for less than 1% of all BCCs but can be difficult to manage due to its functionally and cosmetically relevant anatomic location.

In this study, we systematically reviewed the literature, searching for cases of vulvar BCC treated with MMS. Eight articles representing 17 cases of vulvar BCC treated with MMS have been published, and we added 3 extra cases of our own experience.

We report a 21-month-old boy with a progressive yellow papulonodular rash, dusky plaques, and recurrent infections. Skin biopsy confirmed JXG, and exome sequencing revealed a somatic PTPN11 (c.226 G>A) variant in both peripheral blood (32.6%) and skin lesion (27.2%). The early identification of this mutation prompted urgent hemato-oncologic evaluation. Two weeks later, the patient developed overt JMML and was successfully treated with chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation.

Also known as chromomycosis, this condition typically manifests as insidious onset cutaneous lesions that eventually progress to cause physical disability. CBM is considered a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) by the World Health Organisation (WHO) due to its significant impact on impoverished populations throughout tropical regions, the paucity of research, and the opportunity to improve treatment and prevention. In many cases, the diagnosis is delayed; this is thought to be due to the multitude of clinical mimics and the lack of general awareness. Furthermore, the subcutaneous invasion of this infection creates therapeutic challenges.
