in the superficial layers of the epithelium, a feature that is characteristic to WSN. Among the treatments used for oral WSN, some antimicrobial therapies, such as tetracycline, penicillin and chlorhexidine, have been effective. The successful response to them may suggest that microorganism play a role in the development of WSN still unknown. There is no specific treatment of WSN of the vulva, and observation or surgical removal of the extraoral lesions is recommended. In conclusion, we present the first case of WSN exclusively located in the vulva in a girl, without a familial background. Even though, this is a rare entity, WSN must be considering in the differential diagnosis of vulvar leucoplakia in young girls.
