title: Localized vulvar syringomas--an unusual cause of pruritus vulvae.
abstract: Genital syringomas are rare and usually asymptomatic. We report 2 young women who presented with pruritus vulvae. Examination revealed multiple bilateral skin-coloured papules over the labia majora. Histology showed syringoma. Syringomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pruritic papular lesions of the vulva.
