This case report describes Zoon's vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) with coexisting lichen planus (LP) treated with methotrexate.

Typically, it presents as atrophic, shiny, red plaques that can affect any part of the vulva and can spread symmetrically and bilaterally with the propensity of chronicity and gradual coalescence.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of postoperative wound complications (WCs) in patients following vulvectomy with flap repair and evaluate the efficacy of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in wound healing.

All patients were treated with NPWT, and the wound healing rate, healing time, and NPWT-related complications were observed.
