Prevalence and impact of vulvar lesions diagnosed prior to vulvar squamous cell carcinoma: A population-based cohort study
The vast majority of VSCC patients were not preceded by a pre-malignant lesion or other benign vulvar pathology, although such lesions were frequently identified adjacent to VSCC in resection specimens. Patients without prior vulvar pathology showed more advanced-stage tumors, which may contribute to less favorable outcomes.
