Vulvar metastasis from breast cancer
Southern Kentucky Hematology & Oncology, PLLC, Somerset, KY
Malignant tumors of the vulva are rare, with only a few reported cases in the literature. The authors present a case of vulvar metastasis in a 57-year-old woman with breast cancer. They concur that metastatic disease of the vulva is an uncommon manifestation of breast cancer; however, a high level of suspicion and further workup are needed to differentiate primary malignancy of the vulva from metastatic disease or treatable cancers such as breast cancer.
