title: New approaches to external genital warts and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.
abstract: Human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. For the majority of affected individuals, the virus remains subclinical. However, human papillomavirus infection may result in a broad spectrum of vulvar disease including genital warts, dysplasia, and invasive carcinoma. We review the evaluation and currently available therapies to assist in patient management.
