A practical guide to reporting vulval inflammatory lesions

Vulval inflammatory dermatosis is a somewhat neglected and poorly understood topic in dermatopathology. Although virtually any inflammatory disorder of the skin can affect the vulva, some of these conditions either have a predilection or are unique to the region. Inflammatory skin conditions which are common elsewhere but are known to occasionally affect the vulva often show unusual histopathological features. Environmental factors like increased moisture and secondary changes related to maceration and lichenification can complicate the underlying pathological process.
