Update on the surgical pathology of the vulva.
Recent developments in the surgical pathology of the vulva include updated classifications of non-neoplastic epithelial disorders and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasias. Several histologic variants of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with distinct clinicopathologic features have been described. The concept of superficially invasive vulvar SCC continues to be a complex issue. The use of standardized surgical pathology reports and checklists are recent developments in surgical pathology.
