Original Source: A case of usual (basaloid)-type vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia that failed to respond to imiquimod cream: clinical implications.
The authors report a case of usual-type (basaloid-type) vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) 3 that failed to respond to imiquimod cream. A 51-year-old Japanese woman visited her local gynecologist complaining of vulvar itching. Atypical cells were noted in cytology smears, but nine vulvar biopsy specimens showed benign proliferation of epithelial tissue. The patient was placed under careful observation for 8 months, when the vulvar smears once again showed atypical cells and biopsy specimens revealed VI...
