Key Clinical Message Most vulvar intraepithelial neoplasias are associated with human papillomavirus. However, detailed surgical plans during pregnancy are rarely discussed. We suggest that the treatment policy should focus on performing surgical excision on multifocal lesions, combined surgical excision/laser ablation on single lesions, and preserving unaffected perineal skin, if possible.
