Vulvar syringomas

Abstract

Syringomas on the vulvar skin are relatively rare and generally bilateral. They are usually asymptomatic but can be symptomatic, with vulvar discomfort, burning, and/or pruritus. Management options include topical steroids, topical retinoids, and oral antihistamines. Cases refractory to conservative treatment may require procedural intervention, such as cryotherapy, excision, or electrosurgery. Here we describe a case of symptomatic vulvar syringomas refractory to medical management that were successfully treated with electrodessication and curettage.
