Lymphomas of the Vulva: A Review of the MITO Rare Cancer Group

Francescapaola Magazzino et al. Cancers (Basel). .

Abstract

Since they are very rare tumors, lymphomas of the vulva are often not properly recognized. Patients with vulvar lymphoma are generally elderly and the classical manifestation of the disease is a vulvar mass. No significant age differences have been found between primary and secondary lymphoma. To make a correct diagnosis, it is therefore necessary to use not only histological examination but also the genetic and molecular profile in order to establish optimal therapeutic management. Literature analysis confirm the good prognosis of this disease.

Keywords: classification; cutaneous T-cell/B-cell lymphoma; immunophenotype; molecular genetic profiling; vulvar lymphoma.
