Abstract

Extensive clinical, epidemiologic and pathologic research published in the past year has enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis and natural history of human papillomavirus induced female genital tract lesions, and refined diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in management of these patients. Current experience with vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia as well as diagnosis and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina and vulva are discussed. Advanced imaging techniques and immunohistochemical studies are employed in diagnosis and classification of less common neoplasms. New antibiotics and potent topical steroids are available for treatment of inflammatory vulvovaginitis, particularly in cases of recurrent candidiasis and lichen sclerosus. Persistent or resistant vulvovaginitis may benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment.
