[Diagnosis of pigmented lesions of the vulva]. / Diagnostic des lésions pigmentées de la vulve.

ABSTRACT

This article presents the different pigmented lesions of the vulva (PLV) that are systematically found in 8 to 12% of women and are most often ignored. The histological aspect of physiological pigmentation and its modifications due to hormonal impregnation should be known by pathologists in order to better understand the very large variety of lesions.
