Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely accepted as an established method in the diagnostic imaging of diseases of the female pelvis. This review article describes the role of MRI in the diagnosis of neoplasms of the vulva and the vagina. MRI is useful in the pretherapeutic staging of vulval and vaginal neoplasms in order to assess tumor size, local tumor extent and presence of lymph node metastases. Further indications for MRI are the diagnosis of posttherapeutic changes and tumor recurrence. (c) 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel.
