Abstract
Epidermolytic acanthoma (EA) is a rare benign acquired tumor that most commonly presents as a solitary lesion on the trunk, extremities, male genitalia, and face with a male predominance. Cases occurring on the female genitalia have rarely been reported. We describe the case of multiple localized EAs occurring on the vulva of a 31-year-old woman presenting with the chief complaint of vulvar pruritus. Although rare to occur in the vulvar area, EAs should be included in the differential diagnosis of multiple vulvar papules.
