Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is frequent in sub-Saharian Africa, Madagascar, and the Middle East, with localization in all organs of the reproductive tract, which causes many problems. However, vulvar localization of this disease is uncommon. The patient was a young woman of 25 years old with a complaint of a mass in the right labia minora. After the tumor removal, pathology examination revealed inflammatory granuloma with eggs of Schistosoma haematobium. The patient has never travelled to an endemic tropical area but has bathed in a contaminated river in Corsica, an island located in the south of France. The diagnosis of vulvar schistosomiasis can only be confirmed by biopsy of the lesion.
