VULVAR CANCER WITH BULKY NODAL METASTASIS IN A YOUNG WOMAN - A CASE-REPORT

We report a case of vulvar cancer (clinical stage IV, surgical stage I II) that occurred in a young woman without identifiable risk factors. The patient underwent radical vulvectomy followed by adjuvant radiothe rapy. She remained free of disease two years after diagnosis and treat ment. Our case emphasizes the need to biopsy any suspicious vulvar les ions, even those in young patients. Furthermore, histologic evaluation is mandatory prior to ablation of vulvar lesions in any age group.
