TL;DR: The treatment of malignant neoplasms of the vulva, in general, surgery is the primary treatment.
Abstract: Vulvar cancer is rare, occupies the fourth most common type of gynecological cancer mainly affects postmenopausal, there are no screening tests or effective strategies to reduce its incidence, only the timely treatment of preneoplastic lesions; It is initially asymptomatic, chronic pruritus or vulvar pain is reported, or the presence of tumor or ulcer; alone, the biopsy confirms the diagnosis and histopathological type. Surgical staging involves the removal of the primary lesion and locoregional lymph node evaluation. In current practice, surgical management is conservatively substituted for radical vulvectomy and depends mainly on the histopathological type and staging, mainly the nodal state. Conclusion: The treatment of malignant neoplasms of the vulva, in general, surgery is the primary treatment.

TL;DR: Vulvar and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasms are classified as premalignant conditions and the etiology and pathogenesis of these diseases are not entirely clear due to their complexity.
Abstract: Leukoplakia, kraurosis and pointed condylomas (papillomas) of the vulva represent the group of background benign vulvar diseases. Vulvar and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasms are classified as premalignant conditions. The etiology and pathogenesis of these diseases are not entirely clear due to their complexity. Despite the easy visual assessment of anatomic areas involved in the pathological process, these diseases are rarely diagnosed at an early stage, which might indicate insufficient vigilance of doctors and patients in relation to the early symptoms. Therefore, this field of oncogynecology needs further development ln terms of diagnosisprevention, screening and treatment.

TL;DR: The vulvoscopy, vaginoscopy and high resolution anoscopy are complementary techniques for the exploration of lower genital tract that includes the vulva and vagina as an integral part of it.
Abstract: The vulvoscopy, vaginoscopy and high resolution anoscopy are complementary techniques for the exploration of lower genital tract. The colposcopic examination methodology includes the vulva and vagina as an integral part of it. Its aim is to locate and topographic diagnosis of lesions. Colposcopy is not diagnosed. The main indication is secondary prevention (early diagnosis) of cancer. These techniques are of great clinical value, with implications for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Colposcopy manifestation of these lesions in different anatomical areas are considered a subclinical disease.
