[Simple and clinically useful documentation on the vulva using a personal computer]

We developed a simple menu driven database on personal computer for classification and documentation of vulvar lesions (IBM-PC, dBaseII). Vulvar lesions were classified according to morphologic appearance: red, white, dark, ulcer, small tumor (less than 1 cm), large tumor. The data for each category are entered in multiple choice form and stored in a separate database file. For each category an automated table of the frequencies of the different diagnoses is provided, individual patients and variables can easily be accessed through the database query language.
