Local anaestethic adhesiolysis as the first treatment then continued with general anesthesia reconstruction using both labial advancement flap to close the mucous defect. Patient was stay in the hospital in 5 days, and the flap to reconstruct the labia was vital.Conclusion: Multifactorial causes such as chronic infection, chronic inflammation, poor hygiene and history of systemic disease can be the etiology.
