A 20-year-old female presented to a gynecologist with an irregular, darkly pigmented, vulvar lesion. Histologic sections of a biopsy specimen showed cystically dilated glands with apical snouts, pigmented secretion, and numerous dendritic melanocytes. The lesion was diagnosed as a pigmented apocrine hamartoma of the vulva. We report the fifth case of this uncommonly encountered entity and discuss the conflicting terminology in the literature of this rare, pigmented lesion. This article is protected by copyright.
