In women, it is generally observed in later life, and appears as multiple dark purple papules, measuring 2-4 mm, on the vulva. Case Report: We present the case of a 17-year-old white teenage girl with giant Fordyce angiokeratoma on the right vulva. The angiokeratoma was removed and a V-Y advancement flap was made.
