Background
- Normal anatomical variant commonly mistaken for genital warts/herpes
- Benign and asymptomatic, present in ~1% of women
Clinical Features
- Linear, pink, papules symmetrically on the inner aspect of labia minora
- Papules are easily separated at the base
Differential Diagnosis
- Condyloma acuminata
- Vulvar neoplasia
- Genital herpes
- Condylomata lata
Diagnosis
- Contrast with others:
- Condyloma acuminata lesions extend outside the vestibule and fuse at the base
- Vulvar neoplasia has variable presentations but most likely to present as one unique patch - decision to refer for biopsy depends on clinical presentation
- Genital herpes usually presents with itch, progression from erythematous to vesicular lesions, then rupture forming superficial ulcers
- Condylomata lata typically involves labia majora and anus
Management
