Verrucous carcinoma of the vulva: About a case report

Abstract

Introduction: Verrucous carcinoma of the vulva is a rare lesion, mainly affecting postmenopausal women, this lesion is a distinct and particular entity in the classification of vulvar carcinomas and its progression is uncertain and unpredictable. It is characterized by its extensive exophytic growth without infiltration of the basement membrane. Case Report: We report a case of verrucous carcinoma of the vulva collected at the Mohamed VI cancer treatment center in Casablanca, we will discuss through a literature review, its therapeutic and evolutionary diagnostic modalities. Conclusion: Therefore, verrucous carcinoma is a rare entity and its evolution is mainly local, rarely metastatic. It is the indication for exclusive surgical treatment with wide excision without lymphadenectomy in principle. Radiation therapy provides no survival benefit. The prognosis is relatively good but burdened by local recurrences.
