Case. A 25-year-old woman presented with acute urine retention with overflow 6 months after an inadequate treatment of severe monilia infections. Examination revealed complete adhesion between both labia majora. Division of adhesion was done with reconstruction by labial mucocutaneous flap. Complete recovery was achieved with good cosmetic outcome.Conclusion. Labial adhesions whatever their severity is can be surgically divided with complete correction by locally designed flap to reconstruct the introuitus with rapid recovery, good healing, and good cosmetic outcome.

Abstract Introduction. Superficial infantile hemangiomas (IH) are rarely localized in the genital region. Case Report. We present 8 infants with IHs in the genital region (3 boys and 5 girls). Our patients had only superficial IHs, their internal organs were not affected and there were no associated anomalies. In the boys, IHs were localized on the scrotum and the foreskin in 2 cases and 1 case, respectively. In the girls, IHs were on the labia majora and near the vaginal introitus. None of the IHs showed any IH-related complications. No therapy for IHs was administered in any of the presented infants, either because IHs were small and non-aggressive, or because their parents rejected the proposed therapy. Conclusion. Genital IHs have increased tendency for ulceration, so thorough examination and follow-up are of outmost importance. If therapy is indicated, oral propranolol is the treatment of choice for genital IHs.

Background: Cellular angiofibroma is a benign and rare tumor. It usually arises in middle-aged women and involves the vulva. Complete local excision of the tumor is the best cure, and, usually, there is no recurrence after surgery. Case Report: We describe a 20-year-old woman with a painless, growing vulvar mass who presented about 3 years ago. Her past medical history was negative for oral contraceptives, tobacco, and alcohol, and there were no similar lesions in her family history. A physical examination revealed two masses on the right and the left labia majora and similar lesions on the left axilla and both breasts. An uncomplicated simple resection of the vulvar masses was done in the operating room. There was no evidence of recurrence 12 months after surgery. Histopathologic examination revealed that the findings were consistent with the diagnosis of the cellular angiofibroma. Based on our knowledge, this patient is the youngest case of vulvar angiofibroma. The lesions were large and symmetrical (on both labia majora), although they differed in size. Extravulvar (breast and axilla) lesions were also noteworthy in this patient.

Background : Arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) defined as high-flow vascular malformations of dysmorphic arterial and venous vessels. And connected directly to one another without an intervening capillary bed. The incidence is higher in females than male (3-5:1). Globally, there are only 5 cases of genital hemangiomas reported. Various treatment has been investigated, a recent topical treatment is the application of timolol. It has minimal adverse effects, easy administration, and good cosmetic outcomes. However, the effectiveness of timolol in vulvar cases remains unclear. Case Report : A one-year-old girl was brought by her mother with complaint of a lump in her child's genitals. The lump was appeared during the early days of her life and it was getting bigger gradually. A plastic surgeon performed excision and reconstruction procedure using the island abdominal flap technique. Discussion : Preserving vaginal function and perineal integrity is quite challenging, and cosmesis correspondingly less important. The patient underwent surgical excision and primary closure procedure in the labia majora region, followed with abdominal flap tunneled through the mons pubis. Conclusion: Surgical excision and primary closure are the most recommended procedure for overcoming genital lesion. A reconstruction using flap following the procedure resulted in a normal contour and well functioned genital.
