Early vulvar lichen sclerosus: a histopathological challenge

Histopathology, 2005
Vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS), a lymphocyte‐mediated chronic skin disease, begins with uncharacteristic symptoms and progresses undiagnosed to atrophy and destructive scarring. Some patients with longstanding advanced LS have an increased risk of vulvar carcinoma. Early LS is treatable, although not curable, if diagnosed early.

Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and lichen sclerosus

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1997
There are two clinicopathological types of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive and HPV-negative, which can be distinguished to some degree on routine histology. Human papillomavirus-positive carcinomas account for one-quarter to one-third of cases, occur in women on average 20 years younger than in HPV-negative, and are ...
