Syndrome in question

Abstract

Vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome is characterized by erosions and desquamation of the vulva, vagina, and gingiva. We reported a case of a 32-year-old woman presenting with an 8-year history of damage to the vulval and perianal anatomy and limitation of mouth opening. The patient's symptoms were relieved after treatment with topical tacrolimus cream.

Isolated Perianal Erosive Lichen Planus: A Diagnostic Challenge

“…A PubMed search of articles indexed for MEDLINE using the terms erosive or ulcerative and lichen planus and perianal revealed 10 cases of perianal erosive LP, and weak data exist regarding therapy (Table ). [8][9][10][11][12] Of these FIGURE 2. A, Histopathologic examination revealed acanthosis of the epidermis with slight compact hyperkeratosis, scattered dyskeratotic keratinocytes, and a dense bandlike lymphohistiocytic infiltrate that obliterated the dermoepidermal junction (H&E, original magnification ×10).…”

“…A review of the literature regarding perianal erosive LP suggests good response to high-potency topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors with resolution of lesions within 3 to 4 weeks. 11,[15][16][17][18] Erosive LP is a painful variant that can cause erosions, ulcerations, and scarring. It rarely is seen in the perianal region alone and presents a diagnostic challenge.…”
