Objective: The etiology of plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) is debated. The authors aimed to test the hypothesis that PCV could be divided into 2 clinical phenotypes.
Methods: Patients with a clinico-pathological diagnosis of PCV and with available vulvar photos seen in a vulvar clinic were retrospectively studied.
