The study suggests that most vulvar subclinical HPV (VSHPV) lesions are not a true disease and recommends abandoning acetic acid staining for vulvar diagnosis to prevent overtreatment of human papillomavirus infections.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) subclinical lesions are typically identified on the cervix using colposcopy and acetic acid staining.
  • This technique has been applied to the vulva, identifying white epithelial changes termed vulvar subclinical HPV (VSHPV) lesions.

Purpose:

  • To critically revise VSHPV lesion classifications, the diagnostic role of acetic acid staining on the vulva, HPV natural history, and histological-biomolecular techniques.
  • To determine if VSHPV lesions represent a true clinical disease and to inform diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Summary:

  • The majority of VSHPV lesions are not considered a real disease, and HPV-DNA presence can be either causal or non-causal.
  • Acetic acid staining on the vulva is deemed unreliable for diagnosing VSHPV lesions.

Impact:

  • Recommends abandoning acetic acid staining on the vulva to prevent overtreatment in women with HPV-DNA positivity but no macroscopic lesions.
  • Suggests VSHPV lesions should not be considered a clinical entity, aiming to refine diagnostic approaches and patient management.
