title: [Giant sebaceous gland hyperplasia of the vulva].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Sebaceous gland hyperplasia is an epithelial tumour with sebaceous differentiation. Genital involvement is rare. In this paper, we report a new case of sebaceous gland hyperplasia of the vulva.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 27 year-old woman presented multiple polypoid lesions of the lower third of left labium majus. The lesions were soft to the touch, measured 5 cm in length and were painless. The cutaneous biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of sebaceous gland hyperplasia of the vulva. Surgical excision was performed in two separate procedures and was successful.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case was unusual in terms of the site, the clinical appearance and the weeping seen due to the high concentration of hyperplasic sebaceous glands.
