title: Assessing vulvar lesions. Laser-Doppler flowmetry as a possible technique.
abstract: Over the last decade, laser-Doppler flowmetry has been used to measure perfusion in the skin. To date it has not been used on the lower genital tract, and we describe preliminary results of measurements taken on the vulva. We include results from a control population and describe two cases with premalignant or malignant changes in the vulva.
