Abstract

Vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis (Zoon's vulvitis) is a distinct clinicopathological entity which presents as a shiny, atrophic, erythematous plaque of the vulva. It is an idiopathic condition with characteristic clinical and histological findings that generally occur in isolation of other medical disorders. We report a 36-year-old woman with vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis associated with polyglandular endocrine failure and circulating autoimmune antibodies. The association between Zoon's vulvitis and these autoimmune conditions raises the possibility that Zoon's vulvitis may be an autoimmune disorder.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.
