Microcarcinoma of the vulva.
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.
