Abstract
We report a rare case of vulval tuberculosis (TB) in a young woman who presented with painless vulval swelling with papulonodular lesions. Histopathology showed caseating granulomas with Langhans giant cells, while cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test confirmed
Mycobacterium
TB sensitive to rifampicin. Acid-fast staining and culture were negative, consistent with the paucibacillary nature of the disease. The patient responded significantly to antitubercular therapy. Vulval TB, often mimicking sexually transmitted infections or malignancy, remains rare. Early recognition with histological confirmation is crucial for effective management and prevention of disfigurement or dissemination.

Although external genital cutaneous sarcoidosis is rare, it can closely resemble lichen sclerosus (LS) and delay diagnosis. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman with long-standing vulvar symptoms and LS-like pallor of the labia minora and clitoris. Biopsy showed non-caseating granulomas with negative infection stain...
