Conclusion
Our data showed that pre-malignant/malignant transformation in women
with vulvar LP under surveillance and adequately treated is low.
Maintaining a close follow-up of all patients with LP is the best way of
preventing future malignancy and obtain the best disease control.
Biopsies should be performed whenever a suspicious lesion appears,
anytime during the follow-up, being this the undoubtful role of vulvar
biopsies.
