title: Vulvar pseudolymphoma.
abstract: We report a 31-year-old patient with longstanding complaints of vulvar itching and painful intercourse treated with many antimycotic drugs. On examination a small tumor, clinically not differentiable from a malignant lymphoma, on and near the clitoris was found. After excision biopsy the lesion proved to be a pseudolymphoma. Six months after excision of this rare vulvar tumor the patient was completely free of complaints. Although pseudolymphomas are small benign tumors they may case diagnostic problems and major complaints. To our knowledge this very rare disorder has not been reported in the gynecological literature until now.
