Abstract
A 42 year-old female presented with an early stage IB squamous cell carcino ma involving the clitoris. She was treated with radical radiotherapy to the clitoris and peri-clitoral region and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. The treatment was well tolerated. The vulvar appearance, sensation and orga smic function have not been impaired. There has been no recurrence during f ive years of follow-up. Radiotherapy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy are an effective therapeutic option in early stage IB carcinoma involving the clitoris in sexually active females.
