Abstract

Lipschutz ulcers, or non-sexually acquired genital ulcers, typically occur in older children and young adults. A diagnosis of Lipschutz ulcers can only be made after excluding common infectious and non-infectious causes of mucosal ulcers. Herein, we present the case of a 4-month-old girl with painful ulceration of the labia consistent with Lipschutz ulcers.

Keywords: Lipschutz; acute; genital; non-sexual; ulcer.
