ABSTRACT
The term vulvar leukoplakia is not a histological but a descriptive diagnosis meaning “white spot”.[1] It is used for non-inflammatory diseases characterized by pathological modification of external genitalia multilayered flat epithelium that is accompanied by skin and mucosa cornification [1]. white lesions of the vulva, primarily occur due to secondary degeneration in the epidermis caused by microvascular lesions in the dermis [2], or as a result of growth disorders and epidermal cell degeneration caused by insufficient nutrient supply after nerves and blood vessels degenerate locally. [3] here we report a case of 60 year old postmenopausal woman presenting with pruritis vulva which was later diagnosed with squamous cell hyperplasia of vulva.
