Angiokeratoma of vulva with coexisting human papilloma virus infection: a case report

Abstract: We report a 25-year-old unmarried girl who developed multiple papular lesions on both labia majora with the past history of documented HPV-6 viral infection in the vulva. A wide local excision was performed and histopathological report confirmed a case of angiokeratoma. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of angiokeratoma of vulva following chronic HPV infection.

Several forms of solitary AK are described in precise locations as tongue [51,52] , oral mucosa [53] , palmo-plantar [54] , vulvar [55] , subungal [56] , etc … Probably several lesions described as AK circumscriptum of the tongue [57] are really solitary AK.…”
