title: Microinvasive squamous carcinoma of the vulva: present status and reassessment.
abstract: A retrospective analysis of 24 patients with early invasive squamous carcinoma was performed. No nodal metastases were noted in these patients. Based on a review of the literature, no absolute definition of microinvasive carcinoma could be formulated, but a treatment outline has been formulated based on depth of invasion for Stage I lesions.
