Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder presenting as vulvitis and cliteromegaly.

INTRODUCTION: Clitoral metastases are exceptionally rare. We present a case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder presenting with a clitoral metastasis. CASE REPORT: We report the case of an 84-year-old lady with frequency, dysuria and a clitoral mass, which was found to be a poorly differentiated carcinoma on fine needle aspiration cytology. Cystoscopy revealed a moderate to poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder. CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder with clitoral metastasis. Clitoral metastases are exceptionally rare, with only seven previous cases reported in the literature. Although the commonest cause of cliteromegaly is hormonal, a metastatic carcinoma should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis in the elderly female.

Vulvitis and vulvovaginitis: cutaneous considerations.

Vulvar dermatoses (previously dystrophies) include psoriasis, allergic or irritant reactions, lichen sclerosus, lichen simplex chronicus, lichen planus, and tinea. Some of these have bullous or erosive forms, but they differ from the immune-mediated vesiculobullous disease group, which includes vulvar pemphigus, benign familial pemphigus, pemphigoid, linear IgA disease, and dermatitis herpetiformis. Vulvar ulcers can occur in dermatoses resulting from systemic disease (Behçet's syndrome, lupus, pellagra, and Reiter's disease) or malignancies resembling dermatoses (extramammary Paget's disease, squamous cell carcinoma, and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia). Many vulvar dermatoses itch or burn. Vulvodynia occurs with irritant and allergic dermatitis, vulvar dermatoses, complications of steroid use, candidiasis, papillomatosis, vestibulitis, or essential (dysesthetic) vulvodynia. Diagnostic tests (potassium hydroxide, cultures, and biopsy) should establish the diagnosis and therapy should be specific. Few skin diseases are curable but all are treatable; effective management is defined by whether a medication reliably controls outbreaks or symptoms when it is used. Patience is recommended, because treatment may take weeks or months.

Ulcerative vulvitis in atypical Reiter's syndrome.

We report a case of atypical Reiter's syndrome occurring in a female patient who had severe, ulcerative vulvar disease develop in association with conjunctivitis, low back pain, stomatitis, and psoriasiform skin lesions. Vulvar lesions have rarely been described in Reiter's syndrome and are not well characterized.
