A previously healthy 16‐year‐old girl presented with painful acute genital ulcers that appeared in the context of a primary cytomegalovirus infection. Complementary examinations ruled out both venereal disease and other usual causes of genital ulcerations, and the lesions resolved in < 2 weeks with no sequelae or later recurrences. Cyto‐megalovirus disease should be considered in the screening of acute vulval ulcers.
