Stopped: significant results after inclusion of 10 patients

France10 participantsStarted 2015-04

Plain-language summary

The confocal microscope is a noninvasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution images to a depth of 250 microns, such as "optical" cuts in three dimensions in the thickness of the skin. This is a single-center prospective descriptive study at the University Hospital of Nice in gynecology and dermatology. The aim of the study is to describe the characteristics reproducibly for confocal microscope of normal vulvar mucosa lesions VIN, and vulvar squamous carcinoma. The patients seen in consultation with vulvar lesions suspicious looking will be included. The results will be compared systematically to the histological results of biopsies of lesions (gold standard).
