[A non-specific vulvo-vagino-gingival syndrome].
The case of a 29 year-old patient is reported who initially complained about gingivitis and one year later developed a colpitis. After two years the patient was admitted to our hospital where inflammatory erosive changes of the gingiva, the vagina and the vulva were seen. Neither laboratory parameters nor histological results allowed an exact diagnosis of these findings. Also a Lichen ruber erosive had been excluded by the microscopic findings of a gingival and vaginal biopsy. Thus, the diagnosis of a non-specific vulvo-vagino-gingival syndrome was established, whereby antiphlogistic treatment with corticosteroids led to an improvement of the patient's symptoms.
