Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Verruciform acanthotic vulvar intra-epithelial neoplasia (vaVIN) is a rare condition that does not associate with HPV and presents unique challenges in diagnosis, particularly when differentiating it from non-neoplastic lesions.
- The study evaluated the diagnostic effectiveness of three immunohistochemical markers—CK17, SOX2, and GATA3—across 16 vaVIN cases and 34 similar, non-neoplastic conditions, revealing that these markers are significantly more prevalent in vaVIN cases.
- Findings suggest that utilizing a combination of these markers can increase the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of vaVIN diagnosis, aiding pathologists in distinguishing it from benign hyperplastic lesions.
