She had been married for 15 years and had conceived for three times, giving birth to three live babies since then. The patient was admitted to HAHC hospital with chief complaints of severe itching in the vulval area since three years and formations of warts in the vulval area since one year. During vulval examination presence of warts was seen and redness was also present around the warts. On histopathological examination it was found that the patient had Vulval Intraepithelial Neoplasia type III (warty type). As a part of management, hemivulvectomy was performed so as to prevent the further worsening of the case. VIN is a condition in which there are particular changes in the skin that covers the vulva.

Though VIN is not a cancer but if the changes becomes severe and are left untreated in the patients with VIN, then it might develop into cancer of vulva.
