(A) Photograph of the vulva of a 35-year-old woman with bilateral labial swelling and edema, thickening of the labia majora and minora, and a well-defined plaque of flesh-coloured papules (2–3 mm) on the upper labia majora (black arrow) and on the edge of the lower right labia majus, suggestive of acquired lymphangectasia secondary to vulvar Crohn disease. (B) Photomicrograph from a vulvar biopsy illustrating a noncaseating granuloma (white arrow), suggestive of vulvar Crohn disease (hematoxylin and eosin stain, 200 × magnification).
