Abstract

A woman presenting with vulval lesions is to be examined and evaluated further before giving her the definitive diagnosis and proposing treatment. As the differential diagnosis may vary from benign lesions like lichen sclerosus, vulval intraepithelial neoplasia or malignant lesions like squamous cell carcinoma. We are presenting a case report wherein 70 year woman presented with features similar to squamous cell carcinoma but was diagnosed as pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of vulva which is a benign lesion.Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a benign condition, characterized by hyperplasia of the epidermis and adnexal epithelium, closely similar to squamous cell carcinoma. PEH may be present in a number of conditions characterized by prolonged inflammation and/or chronic infection, as well as in association with many cutaneous neoplasms.
