title: [Cytologic diagnosis of Paget's disease of the vulva].
abstract: Unlike exfoliative cytology for detection of cervical neoplasia and its precursors, the cytologic detection of invasive and intraepithelial neoplasia of the vulva still presents some problems. In cases of Paget's disease of the vulva--a special form of intraepithelial neoplasia with typical histological features--primary cytologic diagnosis is possible. The cytologic criteria that led to preoperative detection are demonstrated on two cases of Paget's disease of the vulva. However, a Paget carcinoma has still to be excluded histologically.
