Abstract
Edema is defined as a palpable swelling produced by expansion of the interstitial fluid volume. Vulvar edema is composed of plasma or lymph. Most cases involve the labia minora, which is composed of loose connective tissue, lymphatics, and blood vessels. Edema may affect one or both sides of the vulva [1, 2].
