| description | Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at increased risk for developing other gynecologic conditions, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN)/carcinoma. We describe the case of a woman with a history of microinvasive vulvar squamous cell carcinoma who presented with hypertrophic ulcerated vulvar and peri-anal masses concerning for malignancy. This case highlights the need to maintain a high index of suspicion for malignancy and herpes simplex virus, even with negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, as well as the difficulty of treating this often-resistant lesion. |
