Syringoma is a benign tumor of the eccrine sweat gland affecting mostly adolescent female. The disease is characterized by multiple small papules. The lower eyelid and cheeks are most commonly affected. Vulvar syringoma is a rare localization. We report a case of a 25-year-old female who presented with a two-year history of pruritic papules on the vulvae. Histological examination revealed a vulvar syringoma. This disease should be included in differential diagnosis of papular and pruritus lesions of the vulva.
