Warty (follicular) dyskeratoma on the mons pubis
Warty (follicular) dyskeratoma (WD) is a discrete nodular lesion that demonstrates the characteristic histopathologic findings of acantholysis and dyskeratosis.

Although occurrences on the vulva are rare, they must be distinguished from HPV-induced squamous tumors when found in this area.
