Workup and Evaluation Laboratory: No evaluation indicated. Imaging: No imaging indicated. Special Tests: Biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis. Cultures for Candida or other dermatophytes should be considered. [clinicalgate.com]

Therapeutic options will not be discussed here, as these require a consultation and workup with a therapist knowledgeable in diagnosis and therapy of vulvar pain syndromes. [drmichaelgoodman.com]

Differential Diagnosis and Workup Workup and procedures If the diagnosis is not readily apparent, unaided (ie, naked-eye) or colposcopic examination of the vulva may define areas of abnormality that may warrant biopsy using a Keyes punch or biopsy forceps [emedicine.medscape.com]

The exact dosage applied in each treatment is not critical since the effective amount may be administered in one or a plurality of treatments. [patents.google.com]

Standard treatments include hormone treatments, herbal medications, laser and microwave exposures, and surgery, but there is a high recurrence rate with all of these. [bermansexualhealth.com]

So far, vulvar carcinoma did not develop in any of the patient followed in our study who received treatment for vulvar dystrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vulvar cancer is usually associated with a poor prognosis. [amboss.com]

Grade I (mature, or well-differentiated) cancers have a better prognosis than grade 3 (poorly-differentiated) tumors. [womenscancercenter.com]

In addition, some dysplastic lesions may have a worse prognosis than isolated carcinomas without leukoplakia. However, dysplastic lesions can regress spontaneously. Therefore, the behaviour of dysplastic lesions is unpredictable. [patient.info]

Other dermatoses (e.g. psoriasis and lichen planus, skin changes secondary to chronic infections) Often white skin (leukoplakia) but may be red Easily traumatized Suggested to diagnose as dermatosis, not as vulvar dystrophy ( Mod Pathol 1997;10:401 ) Etiology [pathologyoutlines.com]

Vaginal cancer is closely related to vulvar cancer in terms of etiology and histology, but it occurs inside the vagina (typically the posterior third of the vaginal wall), rather than the vulva. [amboss.com]

However, firm epidemiological data are lacking for many reasons. Gynecologists and urologists do not generally perform a complete cutaneous examination, and dermatologists often exclude a genital examination. [cirp.org]
