Description
Vulvar cancer is relatively rare and accounts for 3% to 5% of all gynecologic malignancies. This malignancy usually is diagnosed in the elderly population, with the mean age in the late sixties, although it can be diagnosed in any age group. The pathologic cell type is usually squamous cell carcinoma, accounting for 85% of these malignancies. The remaining 15% are unusual or rare cell types. This article presents an overview of vulvar malignancies, including a discussion of etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, pathologic types, natural history spread of the disease, staging, and treatment.
