Dysplastic changes secondary to cytomegalovirus-induced Lipschutz ulcer: Unraveling complexity.

Lipschutz ulcer is a rare nonvenereal condition affecting predominantly young females who are not sexually exposed and can be triggered by various infectious agents, trauma, and drugs. It presents with single or multiple painful ulcers over labia minora, labia majora, vestibule, and lower part of the vagina and may be preceded by prodromal symptoms akin to influenza or mononucleosis. Diagnosis is based on specific criteria, which include age, ulcer characteristics, and absence of immunodeficiency. Management involves reassurance, supportive measures, and in severe cases, corticosteroids. This case highlights the importance of considering cytomegalovirus as a potential causative agent in Lipschutz ulcer and a cause for dysplasia.
