Clinical Differential Diagnosis

Vulvar vestibular papillomatosis (VVP) is considered as normal anatomical variant of the vulva. A 19-year-old female presented with asymptomatic pinkish filliform papules symmetrically distributed on vulva. She denied having any sexual exposure. Clinical differential diagnosis included genital wart and vestibular papillomatosis, however biopsy was consistent with Vestibular papillomatosis. PAS stain was negative. Application of 5% acetic acid did not show any change in color. We report this case to create awareness about normal variant of vulva and unnecessary exaggerated treatment and proper counseling of patient to decrease psychological trauma and associated venereophobia.
