[Papillomatosis of the vulva--morphologic study of subclinical findings]

Subclinical papillomatous findings on the vulva, demonstrable only by broadened colposcopy, are described. Of the 24 patients studied, these findings were accompanied with iodine negative dysplasia of the portio in 12 patients (70.8%), immature squamous cell metaplasia in the endocervix in 17 patients (70.8%), Ca in situ in 3 (12.5%) and papillomas of the skin in 19 patients (79.1%). Patients with the described findings on the vulva and with papillomas of the skin represent an at risk group of women with a considerably high rate of dysplasias of the portio. (Fig. 5, Ref. 9.)
