Case report: Zoon vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) belongs to extremely rare and often misdiagnosed inflammatory disease of the vulva. Lesions may look like shiny, sharply bordered , erythematosus patches or macular lesions. Less than 50 cases have been reported. This article is devoted to clinical findings, differential diagnosis and treatment of PCV. We present one clinical case with typical clinical and histopathological manifestations. Risk of dysplasia exists and long-term follow-up is desirable.
