Vulvar Hemangioma
Hemangioma is a benign tumor that can affect any site on the body, including the vulva. Our patient is a one-year-old baby, with a history of angiomatous vulva papule, which appeared since the age of one month, and increasing in size, itching and bleeding at times which encouraged the mother of the baby to come to our service. During the clinical examination, we found an angiomatous tumor of the large right lip, with a partially ulcerated surface (Figure 1). There was no increase in local temperature or increase in volume during the crying, which eliminated a vascular malformation. The dermoscope helped us a lot in retaining the diagnosis of hemangioma by showing lagunes separated by fibrotic septa (Figure 2).
