title: Microcarcinoma of the vulva.
abstract: Surgical specimens from 14 cases of early invasive squamous carcinoma of the vulva were extensively examined with serial sections to evaluate methods of tumor volume measurement. Using mathematical formulas, three-dimensional parameters were calculated from two-dimensional measurement. A technique of simplified volume estimation was developed and the results correlated with the status of the regional nodes.
