Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia

Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a condition where abnormal cells develop on the surface of the vulva, the external part of a woman's genitals. It is considered a precancerous change, meaning it has the potential to develop into vulvar cancer if left untreated. VIN is often linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and may cause symptoms like itching, soreness, or noticeable skin changes. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent progression to cancer. Depending on the severity, treatment options range from topical medications to surgical removal of affected tissue.
