“…To date, 46 cases of Zoon's vulvitis (suspected or confirmed) have been reported allowing for a better understanding of its natural history 5,10,26–48 (this report). Women affected are on average 48 years old (range 8–79 years) and present with symptoms and signs that have been present on average for 4.8 years (range 0–8 years).…”

Reported herein is an unusual vulvar dermatosis that is best classified as a localized variant of persistent pigmented dermatosis (lichen aureus) but overlaps clinically and histologically with Zoon's vulvitis. This constellation of findings may represent a site-specific mucosal reaction to an erosive process that could either be inflammatory (hypersensitivity reaction) and/or traumatic in nature.

“…[ 10 ] Hyman and Leider speculated that due to the presence of plasmacytic infiltration in such areas, it could be an expression of occult myeloma. [ 11 ] Since the infiltrate is polyclonal in nature, the above said theory has been negated.…”

Zoon’s balanitis or balanitis plasmacellularis circumscripta is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the genital mucosa that can affect both males and females (Zoon’s vulvitis). It is not a sexually transmitted disease but can still cause anxiety to the patients because of its chronic nature. Hence, proper diagnosis and early management are necessary. It is a clinical mimicker of other commoner genital dermatoses and is mostly a diagnosis of exclusion when other diseases have been ruled out. It is characterised by a well-demarcated shiny erythematous patch or plaque over the genital mucosa. Histopathological examination becomes necessary when we are unable to differentiate it from premalignant lesions. It reveals lozenge-shaped keratinocytes with siderophages, haemorrhages and variable plasma cell infiltrate in the dermis. Dermoscopy shows spermatozoa-like, convoluted vessels with structureless red orange areas. Response to topical therapy alone is not always satisfactory. However, lasers and surgical management can provide long-term remission.

Superficial lesions of the glans penis can cause diagnostic difficulties. Zoon’s balanitis can be distinguished by characteristic histological changes affecting the epidermis and the dermal vasculature. A 44-year-old male presented after having blood-staining of his underclothes for 5 months. Upon examination, the glans showed a red, moist plaque. Circumcision was performed, and the biopsy showed plasma cell balanitis. Following circumcision, the lesion healed completely.
