Vulvitis granulomatosa: a cryptogenic chronic inflammatory hypertrophy of vulvar labia related to cheilitis granulomatosa and Crohn's disease.

Abstract

We report the cases of two patients with vulvitis granulomatosa, a chronic inflammatory hypertrophy of the vulvar labia thought to represent the vulvar variant of cheilitis granulomatosa. One of the women later experienced recurring cheilitis granulomatosa, while the other developed intestinal Crohn's disease 6 years later. The interrelationships of vulvitis granulomatosa, cheilitis granulomatosa, and Crohn's disease are discussed.
