SYRINGOCYSTADENOMA PAPILLIFERUM PRESENTING AS VULVAL CYST - A RARE CASE REPORT

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a benign skin adnexal tumour with verrucous appearance that is commonly located in the scalp, neck and face. It usually presents at birth as a solitary papule or as multiple papules and increases in size after puberty. It occurs either de novo or within some lesions such as nevus sebaceous. We report a case of a 75 year old female with a cystic lesion in the labia majora, which on histopathological examination revealed syringocystadenoma papilliferum. This case is presented for its unusual location in the vulva as only a few cases were reported in this location in the literature.
