    Author: Krokidis M, Venetucci P, Hatzidakis A, Iaccarino V.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2011 Feb; 34 Suppl 2():S228-31. PubMed ID: 20559638.
    Abstract:
    We report five cases of female patients affected by symptomatic focal external genital venous malformations treated with percutaneous direct intralesional injection of sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS). All patients were referred because of discomfort and pain when sexual intercourse was attempted. Direct sclerotherapy with 3% STS was performed on a day-hospital basis with the patient under local anesthesia. Complete resolution of the symptoms was achieved in all cases. No major adverse effects were reported. Direct intralesional sclerotherapy with STS may be considered a safe and effective method for the treatment of female external genital malformation without the necessity of general anesthesia for pain control.
