Popis: A case of vulvitis granulomatosa or the vulval variant of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) in a young adult patient with systemic lupus erythematosus is presented. She also had evidence of cervicovulvovaginal human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. Nine years later she developed a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the vulva. HPV 6/11 was found by DNA in situ hybridization within a vulval condyloma as well as within the carcinoma. This case is unusual in that SCC associated with HPV 6/11 developed in her vulva affected by MRS rather than in the cervix, where SCC was more likely to occur considering this patient's age.
