ABSTRACT

We present a 40-year-old woman who had a well circumscribed, pea sized red-brown glistening erosive papule on the foreskin of clitoris for four months which had been resistant to various forms of treatment. Histopathologic examination revealed flattened epidermis with lozenge keratinocytes and watery spongiosis, In the upper dermis, dense bandlike infiltration of plasma cells, endothelial proliferation, and capillary dilatation were noted. Peroxidase-antiperoxidase stain showed polyclonal pattern of reaction in the cytoplasm of plasma cells.
