Verrucous Carcinoma of the Vulva: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Jean Bouquet de Jolinière et al. Front Surg. .

Abstract

Verrucous carcinoma of the vulva is a rare lesion (1). Affecting essentially postmenopausal women, this lesion is a distinct and particular entity in vulval carcinoma classification and its scalability is uncertain and unpredictable. Here, we present a case concerning a 48-year-old patient, without follow-up after a condyloma acuminate of the vulva (large left lip). The origin of this case will be discussed in this article. The treatment decided was only surgical. A review of literature shows the rarity of this lesion of the female genital tract.

Keywords: HPV; condyloma; verrucous carcinoma; vulva carcinoma; vulva surgery.
