BRANDAO, Pedro et al. Dermatology clinical case. Nascer e Crescer [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.4, pp.258-260. ISSN 0872-0754.  https://doi.org/10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v27.i4.12764.

Ulcus Vulvae Acutum or Lipschütz ulcer is a rare cause of acute vulvar ulcer that usually affects young, non-sexually active women and consists on the sudden emergence of vulvar ulcers some days after an influenza-like syndrome, usually caused by Epstein-Barr virus. Despite its exuberant presentation, such ulcers are benign and self-limited. Diagnosis is clinical and treatment, symptomatic. Lesions typical resolve within a few weeks, leaving no scars. The authors describe the case of a 17-year-old, sexually active female adolescent with Lipschütz ulcers.

Keywords : Lipschütz ulcers; Ulcus vulvae acutum; Vulvar ulcers.
