Vestibular papillomatosis mimicking genital warts in a pregnant woman
Journal Title: Türkderm - Deri Hastalıkları ve Frengi Arşivi - Year 2019, Vol 53, Issue 3
Abstract
Vestibular papillomatosis (VP) is considered as an anatomical variant of vulva and suggested as the counterpart of pearly penile papules in males. The condition, approximately present in about 1% of women, is characterized by pink, smooth, small papules located around the labia minor and vaginal introitus. Although it usually shows no symptoms; some women suffer from complaints such as itching, burn, sensitivity, and pain. Despite human papillomavirus has been accused in the etiology, no outcomes are found to support this association. The similarity of VP to genital warts leads to unnecessary examinations and treatments, thus causing anxiety in patients. Here, we present a case with 37 weeks of pregnancy, who is planned to undergo cesarean section due to diagnosis of genital warts.
