Abstract

Fordyce spots are ectopic sebaceous glands which are most commonly seen on lips and oral mucosa. Patients are asymptomatic and do not require treatment unless cosmetic concerns arise. Fordyce spots can also be seen on vulva. However, in such patients, more common vulvar disorders including condyloma accuminatum may be considered clinically instead of Fordyce spots. Therefore, any vulvar lesion without typical appearance should be sampled and examined histopathologically before initiating treatment. A woman with vulvar Fordyce spots who was misdiagnosed to have condyloma accuminata is presented. The patient admitted to a gynecologist with a complaint of chronic vulvar pruritus. After vulvar inspection, topical imiquimod cream was given with a presumed diagnosis of condyloma accuminatum. The patient then admitted to our hospital without commencing therapy. She was subjected to biopsy after examination due to atypical lesions. Papules located on both labia minora were reported to be Fordyce spots and random biopsy was consistent with chronic inflammation. Therefore, she was given topical corticosteroid instead of imiquimod.

Özet

Fordyce spotları ektopik Sebase bezleridir ve en sık dudaklarda ve ağız mukozasında görülür. Hastalar asemptomatiktir ve kozmetik sorun olmadıkça tedavi gerekmez. Vulvada da Fordyce spotları görülebilir. Fakat bu hastalarda Fordyce spotları yerine klinik değerlendirmede kondilom gibi daha sık görülen vulva hastalıkları düşünülebilir. Bu nedenle tipik olmayan herhangi bir vulvar lezyon varlığında tedaviden önce biyopsi ve histopatolojik inceleme gerekir. Bu makalede vulvar Fordyce spotları olmasına rağmen yanlışlıkla kondilom tanısı konan bir hasta sunulmuştur. Kronik vulvar kaşıntı şikayetiyle bir jinekologa başvuran hastada yapılan vulvar muayene sonrasında kondilom düşünülerek topikal imi-kimod krem önerilmiş. Hasta önerilen tedaviye başlamadan polikliniğimize başvurdu. Atipik lezyonlar nedeniyle muayene sonrası vulvar biyopsi yapıldı. Labium minustaki papüllerden alınan biyopside Fordyce spot saptanırken normal görünen vulva kısmından alınan biyopsi kronik inflamasyon ile uyumlu idi. Bu nedenle hastaya imikimod yerine topikal kortikosteroid tedavisi önerildi.
