"Dysplasia is often used as another term for VIN. Using this terminology, there is also a range of increasing progress toward cancer – first, mild dysplasia; next, moderate dysplasia; then severe dysplasia; and, finally, carcinoma in situ. Most women with VIN or dysplasia will not develop vulvar cancer. However, we cannot predict which women will, so treatment of women with VIN is very important (see the section "Can Vulvar Cancer Be Prevented?"). In the past, cases of VIN were included under the broad category of disorders known as vulvar dystrophy. Since this category included a wide variety of other diseases, most of which are not pre-cancerous, most doctors no longer use this term."
