[Monosymptomatic Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome with subsequent vulvitis and perivulvitis granulomatosa].
We report on an 40-year-old woman with granulomatous facial swelling followed by vulvitis and perivulvitis granulomatosa. The characteristic histopathology with epitheloid cell granulomas was seen in samples from both the face and the vulva. By immunohistochemistry the lesions were characterized as consisting mainly of histiocytic and CD-30-positive T cells. The possible aetiology is discussed briefly.
