Some Inflammatory Conditions That May Simulate Tumours

Tumours of the Female Lower Genital Tract

Abstract

Young et al. (1977) classified erosions and ulcers of the vulva into four groups. The first group comprises syphilis, hidradenitis suppuritiva, aphthosis, Behçet’s syndrome and chancroid; the second group is vesicobulbous dermotoses; the third group is pruritic and factitial dermotoses; and the fourth group in situ and invasive carcinomas. Although the overwhelming majority of the first three groups of lesions has clinical and macroscopical features distinctive from neoplastic conditions, a few may occasionally pose diagnostic problems which can be resolved by histological examination.
