| Summary: | Zoon vulvitis or vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis is a rare chronic inflammatory disease characterized by well-delimited and shiny erythematous plaques that can affect any location of the vulva.

The case of a 36-year-old patient is presented and the current therapeutic options described in the literature are discussed. |
