Abstract

Case report: A 76-year-old female patient was referred to the Gynecology Outpatient Clinic of the University of Franca with a complaint of a lesion on the left inner lip, which appeared more than a year ago. At vulvoscopy, a raised, verrucous plaque was observed on the lateral border of the left inner lip, with no other clinical findings. After 7 days, the excision of the vulvar lesion was performed, which was sent to anatomopathological analysis. She returned to the outpatient clinic for post-surgical evaluation, asymptomatic, carrying the report of the histological analysis of the lesion, which showed that it was a verrucciform xanthoma, with no signs of malignancy. Outpatient follow-up was indicated to the patient. Discussion: It is known that these lesions affect mainly postmenopausal women and usually present as single, thick, irregular or verrucous and asymptomatic superficial lesion, exactly what was found in the analyzed patient, both in relation to the epidemiological picture and in relation to the clinical picture presented.
