Introduction: The granular cell tumor was first described by Abrikossoff in 1926. It is a benign, uncommon neoplasia, most frequently found on the tongue. It occurs in the vulva in 5 to 6% of cases. Its histogenesis is not known for sure, but is probably linked to Schawann cells. It is treated surgically, with a good prognosis. The tumors may recur, and some may become malignant according to the literature. The authors describe a case of a vulvar nodule with a histopathologic diagnosis of granular cell tumor, which was successfully treated with surgery.

This paper describes a lip filling technique that administers hyaluronic acid using microcannulas. This technique considerably reduces the number of punctures compared to the conventional method, which uses needles. In addition, the microcannula’s blunt tip reduces the risks of intravascular injection of the substance and of disrupting key structures such as vessels and nerves. The results obtained by the authors confirm the less frequent occurrence of adverse effects and a high degree of physician and patient satisfaction.

Extramammary Paget's disease is a rare cutaneous neoplasm typically occurring in the vulva of Caucasian women after menopause. Clinically, the most common symptom is pruritus, when an erythematous, desquamative and eczematous lesion can be observed. Due to the rarity and nonspecific appearance of the disease, it can be confused with other dermatological conditions, delaying diagnosis. The present case demonstrates a form of vulvar extramammary unilateral Paget's disease confirmed by anatomical pathologic and immunohistochemical study. The standard treatment used for the disease in this case was surgical and the patient underwent complete excision of the lesion, with continued monitoring every six months.

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic dermatosis, usually anogenital and mainly affecting pos-menopausal women. The use of topical corticosteroids is the mainstay of medical treatment. Other treatments are topical testosterone, calcineurin inhibitors, photodynamic therapy, cryotherapy, antibiotic therapy and laser therapy. In this article, five patients with vulvar lichen sclerosus which had no response to treatment with topical clobetasol, had good results when treated with fractional Erbium:YAG laser 2940.

INTRODUCTION: Extramammary Paget disease consists of a cutaneous adenocarcinoma in areas of apocrine glands. It is a rare neoplasia, and its surgical treatment yields satisfactory results. However, due to the high recurrence rates, surgeries are potentially disfiguring. Imiquimod is a topical immune-stimulant used for the treatment of anogenital warts and in situ carcinomas. Its use has been described in the scientific literature for the treatment of Extramammary Paget disease with satisfactory results.
OBJECTIVE: Describe the course of four cases of Extramammary Paget disease treated with imiquimod, to evaluate evolution and therapeutic response.
METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in a service of dermatology in the city of São Paulo, with the review of medical records of all patients diagnosed with Extramammary Paget disease and treated with imiquimod from January 2011 to July 2018.
RESULTS: Four patients were included, three with vulvar lesion and one with scrotal lesion. Two women presented completed resolution of the disease, one did not respond and the man progressed with 70% regression of the lesion, having undergone surgical excision of a considerably smaller area than the initial lesion.
CONCLUSIONS: Imiquimod presents as a valid therapeutic modality for the treatment of Extramammary Paget disease.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer¹. Among the risk factors for its development are exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, some chemicals, and previous scars.² However, the most important factor is exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which explains the higher incidence of this neoplasm in photo-exposed areas.¹ BCC in unexposed areas is uncommon. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of recurrent BCC in the vulva, to demonstrate the importance of dermatological examination in unusual areas, and to report the application of Mohs micrographic surgery.

The labia majora become saggy with aging. Although filling with hyaluronic acid provides significant rejuvenation, it can also lead to the formation of true vulvar testicles if poorly indicated, especially in excessively flaccid vulvas, which do not support any further volumization. In these cases of excessive flaccidity, we believe that collagen biostimulators would be the best initial treatment, as their injection would lead to the replacement of dermal collagen and improvement in laxity, without a significant increase in volume. We have been using calcium hydroxyapatite, l-polylactic acid, and PDO threads since 2019, with good results.

Syringoma is a rare benign adnexal tumor of the intraepidermal eccrine duct of unknown etiology. It is typically characterized by multiple, bilateral, yellow-brownish or skin-colored papules measuring 1-5 mm. Syringomas predominantly affect the face but can also be found in gluteal, pubic, vulvar, or thoracic regions. In this article, we report two cases of vulvar papules with a confirmed diagnosis of syringoma by histopathological analysis, which were successfully treated with carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser therapy. The selected treatment approach was easy to implement and resulted in a favorable clinical response, including improvement of itching after the first session.

Despite the therapeutic success described by recent studies, the procedure of labia majora augmentation lacked systematization in order to achieve more assertive and reproducible results. To this end, we developed the vulvar anatomical vector technique, in which we mapped five anatomical structures of the vulva where the injection of hyaluronic acid is capable of promoting coaptation, augmentation, reduction of prolapse, and/or improvement of the skin quality of the labia majora. This technique has allowed us to precisely define the sites to be injected and estimate the adequate volume and type of hyaluronic acid to achieve the intended results.
