Abstract

This pilot study investigated the prevalence and distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) type in vulvar lesions in women with a history of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. Fifty-two specimens were collected. Uncommon HPV subtypes were found among the specimens, which may have implications for HPV vaccination coverage.
