• Introduction Syringomas are benign eccrine sweat duct tumors. They are typically found in young females predominantly over cheeks and lower eyelids. Rare sites for this tumour include the vulva, palm, soles and penis. Objective To report a case of syringomas of the vulva which is a rare site for this tumour. Case report We report a 52-year-old woman presenting with a 30-year history of multiple asymptomatic flesh-coloured non-tender papular lesions of the labia majora. Dermoscopy showed multiple glittering yellow whitish structures in clusters over fading pink background with cobble-stone appearance. Histopathological examination led to the diagnosis of vulvar syringomas. The lesions were treated with intralesional radiofrequency cautery. Conclusions The vulva is a rare location of syringoma. Dermoscopy may be helpful in establishing early diagnosis and avoiding excessive surgical interventions.
