[Electronmicroscopic investigations of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the vulva after cryosurgery (author's transl)].

A female with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the vulva, which had been treated by intralesional corticosteroid injection and vulvectomy showed again a recurrence of the disease. This time the lesion was treated by cryosurgery. The diseased tissue was investigated by electronmicroscopy during the consecutive phases of the procedure of cryosurgery.
