Abstract :
Sebaceous gland hyperplasia is a cutaneous lesion occurring on the face in elderly patients. The occurrence of the lesion on the vulva is exceptionally rare. We have identified only six cases reported in the literature so far. Vulvar lesions were predominantly on the labia minora and polipoidal in appearance. Contrary to the lesions on the face and the other regions, that the cases of vulvar sebaceous gland hyperplasia were seen predominantly in women of reproductive age and that they were in the greater dimensions were two interesting peculiarities of these lesions. We here in report a new case of sebaceous gland hyperplasia in the right labium minus of vulva.
