Abstract
In 1952, Professor Johannes Jacobus Zoon described Zoon’s balanitis, an inflammatory condition which causes increased plasmocytic infiltrate of the penis and prepuce (1,2). Zoon’s vulvitis, commonly referred to as plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) or vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis, was first documented by Garnier in 1954 (1,2,3). PCV is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by erythematous plaques with a red, orange hue and increased plasma cells affecting the vulva. PCV predominantly affects the vulvar vestibule, but may extend to the labia minora and majora.
