Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Abstract The incidence of basal cell carcinoma of the vulva is 2% to 3% of all vulvar malignancies. It occurs most commonly in patients over 60 years old. Leukoplakia is not a predisposing factor. Treatment of choice is wide local excision although some authors recommend a regional node dissection if any squamous cell component is present. The use of curettage followed by electrodesiccation is briefly discussed. References 1.

Abstract

Abstract The incidence of basal cell carcinoma of the vulva is 2% to 3% of all vulvar malignancies. It occurs most commonly in patients over 60 years old. Leukoplakia is not a predisposing factor. Treatment of choice is wide local excision although some authors recommend a regional node dissection if any squamous cell component is present. The use of curettage followed by electrodesiccation is briefly discussed. References 1.
