Abstract

Patients with vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) are faced with a decreased quality of life and an increased risk of vulvar malignancy. 5-Aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) can serve as an alternative for refractory VLS patients. However, high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) has never been introduced in the ALA-PDT outcome assessment for VLS patients.
