title: Ultrastructure of angiokeratoma vulvae.
abstract: A case of vulvar angiokeratoma studied by electron microscopy is described. The patient, a 51-year-old woman, had noticed eruptions for the last 15 years, though without symptoms. Osmiophilic bodies with myelin-like figures were found in the vascular endothelial cells. The findings support previous opinion that vulvar angiokeratoma is a variant of scrotal angiokeratoma.
