Nonsquamous Lesions of the Vulvar Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue: A Review (Part 2)
Objective
The aim of this second article was to complete part 1 review of nonsquamous lesions of the vulvar skin and subcutaneous tissue (Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, 2021), clinically and pathologically, based on the fifth edition of the World Health Organization tumor classification.
Materials and Methods
A database search of PubMed and Google Scholar was performed between 1970 and 2021, using the search terms “vulva,” “lower genital tract,” and “non-squamous lesions.” The search was limited to “human gynecological pathology.” Full article texts were reviewed, and reference lists were screened for additional articles. We excluded abstracts and articles written in the non-English language.
Results
An initial list of 400 articles was identified. Thirty-seven articles discussed clinicopathological features of nonsquamous lesions of the vulvar skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Conclusions
Clinicopathological features of nonsquamous lesions of the vulvar skin and subcutaneous tissue as categorized by the updated World Health Organization classification are presented.
