title: [Vulvar biopsy as the basis of effective therapy].
abstract: Clinical and microbiologic examinations are not always sufficient for a correct and specific diagnosis of diseases of the vulva. In the case of an unusual clinical presentation or an unusual course of the disease, a histopathologic examination is warranted. Importance, technique, and limitations of biopsies of the vulva are illustrated on the basis of three case reports.
