Necrotizing fasciitis most often occurs in the context of prior trauma or surgery. Predisposing medical conditions include diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, obesity, hypertension and prior irradiation. De novo occurrence in the vulva, in the absence of prior injury, surgery or irradiation, has been reported rarely. Necrotizing fasciitis of the vulva in the diabetic patient may have an insidious onset but requires an early diagnosis and aggressive surgical episode of fasciitis occurred in an obese, diabetic woman. Aggressive, wide excision of all infected vulvar, mons and thigh tissue, followed by aggressive medical and surgical postoperative care, resulted in minimal morbidity. Prompt recognition and aggressive care are required to treat this condition.
