Abstract

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and inflammatory skin follicular disease in the apocrine gland–bearing areas of the body. It is characterized by recurrent painful nodules, cysts, and abscesses that can rupture and lead to the formation of sinus tracts and scarring. The most common HS locations are the axillary, inguinal, and anogenital regions. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon complication of this disease. Fewer than 100 cases are reported in the literature.1,2 We describe the case of a young woman presenting a vulvar SCC complicating an HS.
