Summary A young woman presented with erosive lesions of the labia minora, which appeared 3 years ago after Stevens‐Johnson syndrome. Pathological examination showed ‘vulval adenosis’. A similar case has been previously reported. Vaporization by carbon‐dioxide laser gave satisfactory results, and after 2 years the patient remains totally cured. We discuss several embryological theories which may explain the mechanism of the vulval adenosis in this patient.
