The vulva is an external female genital organ with complex anatomy and histology. In postmenopausal women, this region is at particular risk of different types of conditions known as dermatoses.
We assessed benign vulvar skin lesions using high-frequency 48 MHz ultrasound transducer (DermaView) prior to biopsy or excision. We compared ultrasonographic images with histology.
We assessed benign vulvar lesions such as folliculitis, condylomata acuminatum, lichen sclerosus and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. We presented typical high-frequency images of these pathologies and compared them with histological images.
Our preliminary study confirms that high-frequency ultrasonography is a useful tool in the assessment of vulvar pathologies, especially before surgical excision. A precise visualization of certain pathologies like folliculitis, lichen sclerosus, condylomata and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia is possible.
外阴是女性外生殖器,其解剖结构和组织学较为复杂。在绝经后女性中,该区域特别容易出现各种被称为皮肤病的病症。
在活检或切除之前,我们使用48兆赫高频超声探头(DermaView)对外阴良性皮肤病变进行评估。我们将超声图像与组织学结果进行了比较。
我们评估了诸如毛囊炎、尖锐湿疣、硬化性苔藓和外阴上皮内瘤变等良性外阴病变。我们展示了这些病变的典型高频图像,并将其与组织学图像进行了比较。
我们的初步研究证实,高频超声检查是评估外阴病变的有用工具,尤其是在手术切除之前。对于某些病变,如毛囊炎、硬化性苔藓、湿疣和外阴上皮内瘤变,能够实现精确可视化。
