Abstract

Syringomas are intraepidermal sweat gland tumors most often found in women. They are often seen on the lower eyelids; seldom may they be found in the vulva. Vulvar syringomas are commonly present as small, multiple, pigmented papules. They may cause discomfort and itching. The name syringoma is derived from the Greek word syrinx. This paper presents a case of a 29-year old female who presented complaining of mild vulvar itching and concerned about having an STD. Further interview revealed fear of carcinogenesis and a concomitant sexual dysfunction.
