Abstract
Dystrophic diseases of the vulva represent a large group of dermatoses. The clinical picture of these lesions is often nonspecific, and non-invasive diagnosis is ineffective. The in vivo diagnosis of dystrophic diseases is difficult due to the lack of informative imaging methods for examining the vulvar mucosa. The new method of multimodal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive approach for biological tissues visualization with high spatial resolution, which does not require contrasting agents. Here we report the application of multimodal OCT to in vivo study the vulvar mucosa structure and its lymphatic and blood microcirculation. Multimodal OCT showed that normally the mucous membrane of the vulva has a good blood supply and a well-developed lymphatic vessels network. The difference in the diameter of the vessels in depth is clearly traced. In the subepithelial zone, only blood capillary loops are visualized. Lymphatic capillaries are visualized starting from submucosa.
