[Anatomo-clinical confrontation. Vulvar melanosis].
Vulvar melanosis is a benign disorder that may suggest a malignant melanoma. We report the case of a woman in whom partial vulvectomy was performed to eradicate the melanotic macule. The lesion corresponds to increased accumulation of melanin inside keratinocytes in the absence of any melanocytic neoplasm.
