Vulvar edema occurring during pregnancy requires a careful evaluation for systemic disorders that may place both the patient and fetus at high risk for complications. We present a case of massive antepartum labial edema and factors that may have played a role in initiating the process. Differential diagnoses, associated systemic disorders, potential complications, and treatment options are reviewed for dermatologists confronted with this clinical presentation.
