Reproducibility in the diagnosis of verruciform vulvar lesions, including the novel DEVIL, is acceptable overall. Reproducibility is higher for well-known lesions such as HSIL and condyloma than for more challenging diagnoses such as DEVIL, dVIN, and psoriasis. Agreement is higher among practising gynaecological pathologists, suggesting that training and experience improve reproducibility. Our findings support the inclusion of DEVIL as a diagnostic entity in the classification of vulvar squamous lesions.
