| pubmed-article:9763920 | pubmed:abstractText | There is mounting evidence that epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva may be divided into two aetiologically distinct categories. One category, that is closely linked to infection with high-risk types of human papillomaviruses, comprises malignancies whose histological picture is either basaloid or warty carcinoma. Another category, keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, has a much weaker association with human papillomaviruses and occurs mainly in elderly women. This review describes the current status with regard to risk factors for epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva. | lld:pubmed |
